Class Rules

All students are expected to comply with the following five rules:

1. Students are to follow the directions of the teacher the first time they are given.

2. Students are not to engage in any physical or verbal actions that distract others from the activities underway in the classroom.

3. At the beginning of class students are to be totally inside the classroom before the bell starts to ring. Students are to stay in their seats until dismissed by the teacher at the end of class.

4. Students are to come to class each day with all necessary materials needed to participate in the activities of the day.

5. All persons in the classroom are to be treated with common courtesy and no words or actions intended to cause anyone harm will be allowed.

The five rules above describe in general the way I expect my class to operate. It is also my responsibility to enforce the student code of conduct as outlined in the Parent Student Handbook. Violation of the rules will invoke a procedure of progressive discipline. The basic steps in the procedure are outlined below.

1. First Step - Verbal warning

2. Second Step - Hold after class for conference with teacher

3. Third Step - Parent contact, detention after school with teacher

4. Fourth Step - Referral to the assistant principal for discipline

5. Fifth Step - Immediate exclusion from class and referral to the office

Students involved in serious offenses including refusal to follow the instructions of the teacher, vandalism, acts of violence or severe disrespect to the teacher will be immediately excluded from the classroom. Persistent violators of classroom rules will receive progressively more stern discipline.
