What are the classroom rules & procedures?

Classroom Rules
*** The rules and expectations will not be lowered to meet the wants of individual students; rather, individual students will need to rise to meet the expectations of the class***
1. No food or drink. This includes candy, as well as drink cups from outside vendors. Bottled water, however, is welcome.
2. Tardies are strictly enforced for students and teacher. On time means in the doorway when the bell rings. If a class abuses this by running into class or taking too long to find seats, policy will quickly be amended to being in seat when bell rings.
3. No cell phones or portable music devices are to be seen once class begins. When devices are confiscated, they may be picked up in the principal’s office per school policy. Refusal to give up cell phone is automatic OSS.
4. Please do not plug phones into classroom outlets.
5. No running or horseplay in class. Keep your hands and feet to yourselves.
6. Profanity is prohibited.
7. No sleeping.
