Back to School
(Bye-Bye Summer Tribute in Pictures)
My 8th Grade Classroom
Procedures
Its all about
RESPECT
I respect you,
You respect me,
We respect your
classmates
When you enter the room
Sharpen pencils and be seated
before the bell rings
Make sure school ID is on and
visible.
Begin the bell work (warm-up)
Must be seated before bell rings.
(If not seated you will get a tardy
slip)
If you need supplies
Check with your teacher immediately in order
to go to your locker or the counselors to collect
what you need – Be sure to do this BEFORE
class…not when you are supposed to start
work. Show me you care about your work.
When I need your attention
I will count backwards from five. When I get
to one, the whole class should be silent.
If anyone speaks, or counts with me, you will
lose 30 seconds of passing time…to start
with.
If you need help
• Raise your hand and wait until I call on you. If
it has been a while, you still must wait while I
help someone else.
• If it is not an assessment, quietly ask a
neighbor at your table
When you are
working in a group
Collaboration means to work together
in a group. Everyone shares the
responsibility; no one is left out of the
group. Listen to each other with respect
and hear what they have to say.
When you are working
independently
Do your very best to get through the work
on your own. If you get stuck, re-read the
directions. Independently means you
must do it yourself. Spend some time
trying to figure it out. Don’t just
immediately raise your hand. Think!
If you should need a
pass
• Completely fill out the pass in your agenda, then come to
me and ask me to sign it. You may NOT borrow another
person’s agenda. If there are no spaces left, you will be
sent to the nurse’s office and will need to call home.
• If emergency, ask for permission to leave (not during
modeling)
• You MUST take a pass every time you leave the
room…even if you ask and I say “yes,” does not mean
that you can leave without the pass.**
When you turn in
your work
• Turn in all work to Sir Boxington located on
the front table near the door. Make sure it is in
the correct hour slot.
• NEVER HAND YOUR WORK TO ME! I
promise you I will lose it, and you will still be
responsible for it.*** Remember this. You, not
me, are responsible for getting your work
turned into the correct folder for credit.
When you leave the room at the
end of class
• Clean up your
workspace
• Wait for your teacher
to dismiss you, (not
the bell) then Quietly
exit.
If you are absent
• Copy assignment/lesson out of someone’s agenda
for that day
• Pick up any handouts at the end of the period from
teacher.
• All absent work is due two days after your return…I
will not ask for it….it is completely YOUR
responsibility to turn it in. If you don’t, after 2 days
there will be a “0” placed in gradebook until I get it.
ANY QUESTIONS????
