Procedures

**__ Entering the Classroom __** Folders will be in a crate at the front of the room. They will contain a monthly calendar, blank Daily Agenda Sheets, and a grade sheet. You will keep track of scheduled quizzes, tests, and project due dates on the calendar. You can keep track of your grades on this sheet. Look at your monthly calendar daily. This will ensure that quizzes, test, and project due dates don’t “sneak up” on you. Record the Daily Agenda on your Daily Agenda sheet. Please do not ask,” What we are doing today?” until you have read the Daily Agenda. Record any homework in your school Agenda book. The calendar should always be in your folder and should not leave the classroom. It is your responsibility to transfer due dates for homework, quizzes, tests, projects and other reminders into your School Agenda Book. These dates are always available on the wiki. “I didn’t know it was due” is NEVER an acceptable excuse.

After completing the Daily Agenda Sheet find the Bellwork on the Assignments page for your grade level. These tasks will be completed in the first ten minutes of class each day. Do not turn in Bellwork unless requested. The nature of the tasks will vary according to the content of the day’s lesson. Please follow the directions. If you are confused about the directions please ask your team members for clarification before asking me. After Bellwork, teacher will brief students regarding assignments and agenda. This must be filled out on a daily basis. Record the date, objectives, and assignments. Example: || # Practice class procedures 8/31/10 || # Evaluate a meal and determine if it meets the daily guidelines for three different types of people || # Complete Basic Nutrition pre-test You will be given a number for this class, which will speed up the process of handing in and handing out assignments. This allows more time for learning! When you have completed a quiz or test, please place it in the correct pile on the side counter. Make sure your name, date, period, and test subject are on your test and/ or answer sheet. // Five point deduction for incorrect procedure. // For your privacy, tests and quizzes will be returned to you in your folder no later than 5 school days after the test completion. On those days part of your Bellwork will be reviewing your test. All written work (including worksheets) should include the following PRINTED heading in the upper left hand corner: Full Name Date Period Name of assignment/test/project Put assignments in the appropriate basket. Please do not put assignments in the folder. // Five point deduction for incorrect procedure. // Homework in this class will be one of three types of assignments: Students are responsible for recording their own grades in the folder. Grades can also be accessed on the Parent Portal. Grades will be discussed after class or at the teacher’s discretion. Students will earn one of the following grades: O = Outstanding S = Satisfactory N = Unsatisfactory Passes will ONLY be given for the restroom and the nurse. Passes will NOT be given to go to your locker, make a phone call, speak to another teacher or staff member, etc. If using the restroom use the classroom sheet and record the time of your departure and return. If going to the nurse, I will write you a pass. You must bring your laptop to class each day. You are only permitted to visit the class wiki and other assigned websites during the class period. When you are absent please check the wiki for the days you missed: Any make up work must be submitted within 4 days* of returning to school. Please place it in the make-up work basket. Make-up work will only be accepted for excused absences. Bellwork, class work, and projects due on the date of an unexcused absence will not be accepted under any circumstances. Student will receive no credit for that work. Bellwork must be submitted if it is make-up work. Any missed handouts will be placed in your folder by the Attendance Keeper. It is YOUR responsibility to check with a reliable team member to be sure you received all the handouts. * 4 days means calendar days, not school days. If you return to school on a Thursday, then I expect your work no later than Monday. If you return on Monday, I expect it by Friday. In the case of __very serious__ illness or loss the teacher has discretion to adjust on a case by case flu. You may bring a water bottle to class with you, but you are not permitted to refill it during class. You may use a classroom sink to refill it before or after the bell. ONLY water is permitted – no juice, soda, or other beverages. The only food permitted in the classroom is food that has been prepared in class. As per the district policy, all cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off and stored in the locker. If a student is in possession of a cell phone or electronic device, it will be given to an administrator and returned to a parent or guardian. If you receive a yellow card during class you will follow these steps after I have dismissed the class: You are part of a team, comprised of the people at your table. When you do group work you will be working with your team. Each of you will take turns being the Team Captain for a week. You will be responsible for helping each other to be successful in this class. You all have an individual responsibility to complete your work. However, life is about learning to work with and beside others. As you learn to follow these procedures help each other. Support each other as you learn new skills in class – encourage each other and give direction when appropriate. Your ability to positively contribute as a team member is critical to your success in life.
