Class+Procedures


 * Classroom rules and procedures** help build and maintain a productive learning environment. You should **always** arrive on time, bring all assigned materials, stay focused, and use good manners. You should **never** disrupt the lesson or distract your classmates, sleep or put your head down, bring food or drink to class, or use cosmetics in the classroom. In addition to stated rules, good sense and consideration for others will help you make wise choices.

__Preparation/Participation__: One of your new responsibilities as a seventh grader is managing all your own supplies and materials. It is very important to have a supply of pencils with lead and to bring your agenda and notebook to every class.

__Turning in Work__: Use the correct heading on all your work (first and last name followed by class period, English 7, date). To guarantee full credit, please do your assignment completely and turn it in on time. If you are absent when an assignment is given, your due date will be adjusted accordingly. If you are absent when an assignment is due, the assignment is due the day you return. A zero will be given for homework not turned in on time, but zeroes can be changed to partial credit if homework is turned in late. It is better to get partial credit than no credit at all.

__Restroom__: Please plan to use the restroom on your own time, not class time. Restroom passes are for emergencies only. Permission to use the restroom will not be given while a lesson is being presented. Please wait until seat work has been assigned before asking to go.

__Absence__: It is **your responsibility** to check for missed assignments, handouts, or notes. Make-up work must be turned in within a reasonable amount of time (you'll be given a due date). You will be expected to keep up with current assignments even while you work on missed assignments.
