Assertive Discipline

Classroom Rules

1. Respect- Respect yourself, others and their property. This also includes school property. Please keep classroom neat, throw all trash in the trash can and do not touch the teacher’s belongings.

2. Tardy- Come to class prepared and on time. If the student arrives more than 10 minutes late, they will be counted absent but must remain in class. The bell does not dismiss you, I do.

3. Assignments- Turn in all assignments on time. You are responsible to let the teacher know if you were absent. Failure to makeup any missing assignments will result to a zero.

5. Listen and follow directions!

6. NO texting, NO headsets and NO Earbuds- I will take it away and follow the school’s cellphone policy (located in the student handbook).
