Classroom Policies

I am so excited to have you here this school year! The following information will help us all be successful. I love math and know we are going to have a groovy year! 

Peace, Love, & Math: The ReasoningI have chosen the theme “Peace, Love, & Math” for class. “Peace” indicates that we will have an environment conducive to learning. You are in high school now and should know and exhibit appropriate behavior. “Love” implies the attitude of the class. We will respect each other and value each other even if we do not always agree. “Laugh with anyone, but laugh at no one.” Author Unknown “Math” denotes our purpose for the school year – mastering math standards and earning graduation credits!

Make-Up Work/Tests: All students must turn in an excuse within 3 days of the absence. All classroom assignments will be posted on my teacher calendar and on a calendar in the front of the class. If any hard copies were given, they will be placed in the make-up bin which is on the table at the front of the room. It is your responsibility to obtain make-up work and schedule any assignments missed after-school.

Restroom and Hall Passes: Instructional time is valuable! Students are highly encouraged to take care of business between classes. Passes will be limited!

Classroom Rules: 1. Respect 3. Be seated.5. Be prepared.

2. Be on time. 4. Be quiet.6. Follow directions.

Classroom Behavior Overview: You, the student, will be cooperative and considerate. You should be in your seat and ready to work by the tardy bell. Make sure your area is clean as you arrive and that it is still clean at your departure. If you are not seated you can be counted as tardy. I follow the attendance and conduct guidelines for WHS and Elmore County Board of Education. There is to be NO FOOD, GUM, CANDY, or DRINKS without approval by me. Any misconduct will result in a consequence. These guidelines are set in order to create an atmosphere of respect and a good work ethic. A severe disruption - as well as disrespectful behavior toward me - will be cause for immediate removal and an automatic office referral.
