Expectations Rules Grading Policies Consequences Procedures

I. Expectations:

Middle School marks the beginning of a new time in a child and parent’s life. Until now, you have been able to act like a small child, but now we expect you to act more like a young adult. I would prefer to treat you like the young adults that you are, rather than the small children that you used to be. However, it is your behavior and attitude that will dictate how you will be treated. If you wish to be treated like a young adult, then you should be prepared to follow the expectations and procedures outlined below and in the rest of this handout. If you choose not to follow these rules, you should be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions. With that said, here is what I expect of you as young adults:

            Try your best at all times.
            Have a positive attitude.
            Show respect to your teacher and your classmates.
            To be prepared for class and bring your supplies every day.
            To help keep the room clean.
            Ask questions when you don't understand something.
            Do your own work - No cheating.
            Be responsible.
            Be honest.
            Accept consequences for your actions.

There are certain things you should expect from me. You can expect me to:

            Try my best to teach you.
            Have a positive attitude.
            To treat you with respect.
          To be prepared for class.
            Help to keep the room clean.
            To help answer questions when you don't understand something.
            Be responsible.
            Be honest.
            To hold you accountable for your actions.

Enter the room quietly, sharpen your pencil if necessary and go directly to your seat.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL CLASS HAS STARTED TO SHARPEN YOUR PENCIL!!

Use the restroom between classes. After all, I have to do the same.

No cell phones, CD players or other personal electronic devices are allowed. There is no need to have these out in class. Please note: Teachers have been directed to take these devices up. If I have to warn you more than once, then you should expect to have them taken up to the front office.

If you have a question, or wish to leave your seat, raise your hand to ask permission.

Stay in your seat until you are dismissed.

Don’t ask to use the phone. I can’t let you go unless it is an extreme emergency.

When you are absent, check the make-up folder.

Do NOT answer the intercom or make comments when it is in use.
