You will need these daily
Classroom Rules:
Entering the classroom: Quietly come into the room and find your assigned seat. Get out your binder and read the board for instructions
Leaving the classroom: When the bell rings to conclude the class, the bell does not release you. We will not line up at the door and wait for the bell to ring. I release you, not the bell.
Tardiness: You are tardy if you are not in the room when the tardy bell rings. The door to the classroom will close when the tardy bell rings. If you are not in the room, you will need to go to one of the tardy kiosks and get a pass to enter the room.
Grading:
Absences or missed classwork: If you have missed a day of class, it will be your responsibility to get your missed assignments or notes.
Your notebooks: Try your best to keep them neat. Always bring it to class. Always. If you are wondering if you will need your notebook for class, the answer is yes.
Tutorials: I will be available for tutorials after school, by appointment only on Monday and/or Tuesday.
Extra credit available if you bring one of the following to class to donate:
