The job we are about is the accomplishment of the class objectives and it is the teacher s responsibility to see that all reasonable steps are taken to master those objectives. It has been my experience over the years that the consistent enforcement of reasonable rules as those outlined below make for a productive and pleasant classroom atmosphere. Students are to follow the directions of the teacher the first time they are given. Students are not to engage in any physical or verbal actions that distract others from the activities underway in the classroom. At the beginning of class students are to be totally inside the classroom before the bell starts to ring.
Students are to stay in their seats until dismissed by the teacher at the end of class.
Students are to come to class each day with all necessary materials needed to participate in the activities of the day. All persons in the classroom are to be treated with common courtesy and no words or actions intended to cause anyone harm will be allowed. The five rules above describe in general the way I expect my class to operate. It is also my responsibility to enforce the student code of conduct as outlined in the Parent Student Handbook. Violation of the rules will invoke a procedure of progressive discipline.
