Rules and Rewards

RULES

1.Listen to others when they are speaking. That means me AND people in your class.

2.Have EVERYTHING with you and BE ON TIME. You will not be allowed to leave the room

after the bell rings. Ask me for locker and bathroom BEFORE the bell rings. (BOOKS will be

expected EVERYDAY, no matter what!)

3.Keep ‘yourself to yourself.’

4.Raise your hand to speak or leave your seat. That means for anything… Pencil sharpener,

garbage, tissue…

5.Do not swear, tease, or argue. Do not say the “S-U” word. Do not say “It’s not fair.” *

IF YOU CHOOSE TO BREAK A RULE:

I generally give at least one verbal warning if you break a rule. I give you a chance to ‘redeem’ yourself. An exception to this is if you overtly disrupt the class or disrespect anyone. Consequences may be as follows (in order of severity):

Pulled out of class for one on one with Miss B.

Classroom Detention. (always used for tardiness and ‘book forgetfulness.’)

Phone Call home (to be used in correlation with any other consequence.)

Removed from class, sent to office.

Referral.

REWARDS

Just as bad behavior has a consequence, good behavior has its rewards. Tickets are handed out for homework completed, mistakes pointed out, individual exceptional participation, winners of various activities…
