Class Policies

Classroom Rules

• You are expected to show respect for other students and to the teacher at all times.
•  Remain in your assigned seat unless you have permission to get up. Throw scraps away at the end of the period on your way out and do NOT sharpen pencils while I am speaking to the whole class.
• All students are expected to participate in classroom discussion.
• Come to class prepared. Have everything you need: your agenda book, your textbook, your notebook with paper, a writing utensil, calculator and any assignments.
• Failure to write in pencil or to put your name on your paper will result in a 10-point deduction for that assignment.
• There is to be no eating, drinking, or chewing of any kind in class. This includes water in bottles and food or candy sold by school groups
• Do not cheat. Students caught cheating will receive a zero in addition to a referral to the principal and a phone call home. I expect you to do your own work and to be sure no one can copy it
• All rules in the MHS handbook will be enforced.
• Disciplinary actions taken:

1. Verbal warning
2. Verbal warning #2.
3. Time out (removal from roomPhone call to parent/guardian.
4. Loss of privileges within classroom and campus. Ex. (Loss of extracurricular activities during school day.)
5. Discipline referral to office.

**Dependant upon the severity of the offense, the teacher may  move immediately to step 5.

Attendance

1.   Come to class on time. Standing outside the door and rushing in after the bell has begun to ring will constitute a tardy. You must be INSIDE the door when it begins ringing to be counted on time.
2. Begin the start up activity within 1 minute after the tardy bell. Directions will be on the projection screen or the board. When I begin class, directions for the start up may be taken down, so don't delay.
3. Attend to personal needs before coming to class. Do not ask for passes during the first Ten minutes of class or during a lecture unless you have a real emergency.

4. If a student is absent it is his/her responsibility to collect his assignments for that     day.

5. Students will have three days to establish time to make up all work missed due to                         being absent.
