CLASS GUIDELINES

WELCOME TO OUR CLASS

Our new year is under way, and I am so glad you will be a part of it. In order to make the year run smoothly, there are some guidelines that we all need to follow: Keep these guidelines with you. They are important for you to know.

* Treat everyone with courtesy and respect.
* When the teacher or classmate is sharing, do not interrupt.

* Do not use the teacher’s or another students supplies without asking permission.

* Listen carefully to all instructions.

* Complete and turn in all assignments neatly, on time and in the appropriate homework bin.

* When a guest enters our classroom, stand and greet them respectfully.

* No gum chewing.

* No cell phones / electronics.

Everyone is expected to know and follow these rules. If we all do so, we are sure to have a wonderful, exciting school year.

Standard Procedure: I expect you to be seated and ready to learn as soon as homework is put in the homework bin. Likewise, I should be ready to teach.

The Rule: Respect yourself and other people. No insults or bad behavior will be tolerated. We all have the right to be treated with respect.

Tardy: Be on time.

Study Materials: Bring all of your supplies and books to class. You can’t interrupt another class to get your things. All books should be covered with an appropriate book cover. Workbooks should be covered with clear contact paper.

Participation: A daily grade is given for your class participation. This means you will receive a 100 for the day if you turn in homework and participate in class.

Homework: Homework will be listed on the Academy of St. Adalbert website weekly (see website address below). We won’t have homework every night, but when we do, it’s your job to do it - by yourself, using your own personal brain. It is perfectly acceptable to get help or share ideas with friends. If you have any problems, please see me at school or e-mail me in the evenings at my email address listed below. Homework bins are located in the classroom. As soon as you enter the class, please put your homework in the appropriate bin.

Tests: Please study for tests. Advance notice is always given. One class period is devoted to reviewing for an upcoming test. There is absolutely no talking during a test. Cheating or talking during a test will result in an automatic zero.

Late / Missing Work: Students must turn in homework / assignments on time. Students who do not turn in homework when due, will receive a homework notice that must be taken home that night and signed. Homework must then be turned in the next day with the signed homework notice. If both items are not turned in, a detention will result for the following Tuesday or Thursday.

Absent / Makeup Work: When you return to class after any absence, it is your responsibility to check the makeup folder in your grade’s homework bin. If you have a sibling at the Academy of St. Adalbert, I can have work sent home to you.

Discipline: I prefer to deal directly with you instead of calling your parents. You are responsible for your own behavior. You behave yourself, and I’ll behave myself.

Bathroom Breaks: We only have a short 40 minute for each period. Please try to use the restroom before classes start or at the end of class. Two students must go to the restroom and must have a pass.

Fun: We will have the maximum amount of fun allowable by law. Please bring your sense of humor to class.
