Classroom Procedures and Additional Information
| Entering the Classroom | When you enter the classroom, please quietly grab your Silent Sustained Reading (SSR) book and SSR journal, and begin reading for SSR time. I will stop you when SSR time is finished. Then, you will start your SSR journal. If you forget to enter the room quietly I may ask you to go outside and enter correctly. |
| Tardies | Unexcused tardies will result in the loss of citizenship points. |
| Dismissal from Class | Before the bell rings, I will ask you to clean up your area. Please make sure your SSR book and notebooks are put away in the correct place. |
| 10/10 Restroom Policy | If you need to use the restroom, you will need to have your planner in order to fill out your pass. You may not leave while I am giving directions or the first/last ten minutes of class. |
| Sharpening Pencils | You may sharpen your pencil as long as nobody is speaking to the class (this includes me AND other students!). |
| Absent Work Policy
|
If you’re absent you will have a chance to make up your work! You will receive one week from the date you come back to school to complete the assignment. Please check with me before or after class to see what you have missed. |
