Mrs. Priors Classroom Procedures1. When you enter the classroom: Get all needed materials ready for class to startgrab

any papers from you file folders by the door, sharpen your pencil, and begin bell work.

2. When you forget a pencil: In order to borrow a pencil from the teacher you have to giveher some collateral. This means you give the teacher a phone, iPod, wallet, etc. . . . and

then the teacher will give you a pencil, if she has one.

3. When the bell rings at the start of the period: Be in your seat and begin working on thebell ringer while I take role. The bell ringers will be written on the board and you will

write your responses on the bell ringer paper I will give you.

4. When you are tardy: Come in quietly, sign in the tardy book, get your supplies fromyour file folder, take your seat, and get on task with the class. This can all be done

without making a sound. To help clarifya tardy is running through the door and/or

funning to your seat after the bell. A late tardy is walking through the door 10-20minutes after the bell. (Remember: Tardies and Late Tardies drop your grade.)

5. When the bell rings at the end of class: The bells are for the teachers more than they arefor the students. At the end of class, remain in your seat until I dismiss you. I will usually

give you some time before the bell rings to put your papers back in your file folder (the

papers should never leave the classroom unless it is homework), put the materials we

used that day away, and clean up your area. Realize that your class may have to stayafter the bell rings in order to accomplish these and possibly other tasks. (Just in case you

are wonderingI will never let you leave class early, so dont ask.)

6. When you are absent: Before the bell rings at the start of class turn in any work that wasassigned before you left into the late basket. Make sure you write ABSENT at the top

of the assignment, otherwise your work will be assumed late. Please talk to me beforeor after class on what assignments you missed and how you can make them up. Becausethis is a high participation class I would suggest not missing days.

7. When assignments are late: Please write Handed in and the date at the top of thepaper then put in any late work into the late basket. Any work handed in after the due

date is counted as late and will receive a 5% deduction each day it is late. If you do not

write the date it is automatically only 70 %.

8. When you need a hall pass: Attached to this disclosure is a sheet with 3 hall passes.Each student will have 3 opportunities to use the passes if they are in their possession. If

you do not need to use the hall passes you can turn them into Mrs. Prior at the end of theterm/trimester for up to 15 extra points.

9. When you want to make a comment or ask a question : Raise your hand and wait forme to call on you if it is during direct instruction, or Ill come to you if the class isworking silently. Please raise your hand and ask for permission to sharpen your penil or

for anything else you need.

10.When you pass in papers: When I ask you to pass in an assignment, pass your papersforward and then pass them all to your left. All the papers will end up with one person

and then that person will put them in your class basket.

11.When we need to leave the building in an emergency: When I ask you to stand, do so.When we are all ready, I will ask you to file out of the room, row by row, through the

door. Walk quietly out of the building and do not stop to use the bathroom or get a drink.

Look for me once outside so I can take roll. If you are not present at that time you will

not only receive an absent from the fire drill, but also an absent for the day.

12.When I want to get the classs attention: I will hold up my hand. I will begin countingdown from 5 and by the time I get to zero your mouths and materials should be quiet withyour eyes on me.

13.If there is extra time at the end of the period: If you personally finish early then pleasecatch up on any work you may have missed in the past, bring a book to read, or bring

something else to work on. If we finish early as a class I will read a book to the class

with the remaining time.

14.Food, Drink, and Gum: There is no food in the classroom unless we are actuallycooking that day. You can have water but it needs to stay on the ground. And you can

chew gum during lecture as long as it ends up in the garbage and nowhere else; you

cannot chew gum around any equipment that we use.

Please refer to these classroom procedures if you are ever unsure of what to do, or you may also

ask guidance from me.

I am so excited to get to know all of the students in my classes and their parents. Please do not

hesitate to contact me if there is something I can do regarding your student

Thank you,

Mrs. Prior
