Class Rules

Rule #1- We’re ALL people. We make mistakes and we don’t always agree. The most important thing is to respect each other and each other’s opinions. This doesn’t mean that we agree with everyone’s viewpoint, but we will listen to each other and hear each side of the issue. If someone says something disrespectful, it’s their responsibility to apologize. If you wouldn’t want someone to say it to you, don’t say it to your classmate (or your teacher). 

Rule #2- Listen to the teacher’s directions and follow them to the best of your ability. There will be instructions posted on the dry erase board and I will tell you some directions directly, this is so that we can have a fun and safe environment to learn in! 

Rule #3- Raise your hand if you have something you need to say or if you have an answer to a question. This makes it fair to everyone who knows the answers. 

Rule #4- Be prepared for class. Come to class with your homework finished and the supplies that you’ll need for the day. If you didn’t fully understand something in your homework, just try your best! I’ll explain it to you when you come to class if you need me to. 

Rule #5- Keep the classroom neat. You will occasionally be responsible for classroom duties, such as handing out headphones or picking up pencils. These are special duties that come around occasionally, but you’ll be responsible for keeping your area clean everyday. 

Consequences

There will be one warning and then a mark will go on the behavior chart. Three marks will result in a trip to the principal and a letter to the parents. Failure to follow the General Classroom Rules may result in a loss of student privileges/duties (such as phone duty or class spokesperson).
