Classroom Procedures

• Students will be assigned a seat within the first days of school. This seating arrangement may change due to function or misbehavior as the year progresses. 
• Each day, students should enter the room and be seated immediately. Once they are seated, students should begin working on the bell work or reading from their Accelerated Reader book.
• Students should take care of using the restroom or getting water between classes. If it is necessary to attend to one of these during class, the student should raise his/her hand and request permission to leave the room. The student must sign out when leaving and sign in when returning.
• Students should bring their materials (binder, workbooks, journal, and pen/pencil) to class everyday. If a student does not have his/her material in class, points will be deducted from his/her participation grade.
• When a student is absent, he/she should bring a note. Students will be given the amount of time that they were absent to complete all missed work. (See Parent-Student Handbook, 5.3)
• Homework may be turned in a day late for 1/2 credit. Homework turned in two or more days late will receive a grade of “0.” For all other late assignments, 5 points per day will be deducted from the assignment’s overall grade.
• While taking a quiz or test, students may not talk. Students who finish early should use this time to read from their Accelerated Reader book or work on other assignments for the class.
• If a student is caught cheating on an assignment, quiz, or test, his/her paper will receive a grade of “0” and a referral will be sent to the office.
• Weekly assignments will be posted on Quia each Monday.  However, your child is still responsible for copying the information from the board into his/her assignment pad every day.  In the event there is a difference between the assignment pad and Quia, please adhere to the assignment pad.
