Classroom Rules, Policies & Procedures
CLASSROOM RULES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
- BE here! You need to be in the classroom when the bell rings or you will be counted tardy. If you are tardy on a frequent basis you'll be on my mental list of kids who don't care about my class. :( If you are more than 10 minutes late to class you'll be counted absent.
- BE responsible! Be on time and come prepared. Bring all needed supplies & materials to class and know your school Google account login and password. Come to class ready to work.
- BE respectful! Be kind, polite and respectful to each other, to me and to guests. If you don't have anything positive to say, stay quiet. Don't use phones or other electronic devices at inappropriate times. It's just rude.
- BE awesome! Encourage, help and support each other. Be brave and take risks! Make the most of your time in this class and learn, learn, learn!
