Mrs.+Jones's+Class+Rules


 * MRS. JONES’S CLASSROOM RULES **
 * 1) Students are to enter the classroom calmly and quietly and go immediately to their assigned seats. You are to sit at a 90 degree angle to your desk with your feet on the floor and good posture (spine straight).
 * 2) Students are to be in their seats and prepared to work when the bell rings. If you are not in your seat with your materials when the bell rings you are tardy. Be working on the assignment on the board as soon as the bell stops ringing.
 * 3) Students are to show respect at all times and in all manners toward themselves, others, and staff. This includes all verbal and non-verbal forms of communication including body language, facial expression and tone of voice.
 * 4) Students are to be on task AT ALL TIMES and work to the best of their ability. This means you are to be working on whatever assignment is given with all of your concentration. If you finish an assignment early, you may read. There is no talking in my class except to address the academic issue at hand.
 * 5) There is absolutely no gum, food, drink, candy, make-up, mirrors, electronic devices or any other distraction allowed in my class. Any of these visible will be immediately confiscated and handled accordingly. Do not even give the appearance of chewing or it will be deemed that you are doing so. Class time is for learning.
 * 6) Students are to be prepared with all papers, pens, pencils, ISN, novel, and any other materials required for class. Never bother me about sharpening your pencil, needing paper, throwing out trash, or any other trivial matter during class. Class time is for learning.
 * 7) You are to raise your hand to get permission to speak. Raising your hand does not give you permission to speak; it just lets me know you want to speak. You are never to leave your seat without first raising your hand and receiving permission.
 * 8) If you need to use the restroom you may do so, but must make up the time for fifteen minutes after school.
 * 9) I do not argue with students. If you are told to move your seat or given any other direction you are to do so immediately and without complaint. If you feel this or any other direction is unreasonable you may arrange to discuss it with your counselor or arrange a parent conference on your own time. Otherwise, follow all directions immediately and without complaining. Class time is for learning.
 * 10) When the bell rings, you are to remain in your seat until dismissed. You are responsible to clean any trash in your area whether it is yours or not. Keep all trash with you until the bell rings and throw it out on your way out of the classroom.
 * 11) I do not give warnings. This //is// your warning. Any violation of these rules will be met immediately with a 15 minute detention to be served immediately after school and/or other consequences such as copying the rules, parent conference, meeting with the counselor, meeting with the assistant principal, ISS, and so on.
 * 12) If you do not come to the 15 minute detention, your parents will be notified immediately. Then you will receive a counselor referral. If you still do not come to the detention, you will receive an assistant principal referral. No matter what other consequence you receive, you will have to make up the 15 minute detention in order to return to class. This means you are suspended from my class until you serve your 15 minutes.
