Violations of classroom rules will result in the following consequences: 1. Warning 2. Detention 3. Parent Contact 4. Office Referral

Some Important Classroom Procedures Entering the classroom (Room 301) Students will line up in the hall and enter the room only when a teacher is present. Take your assigned seat and quietly complete the day’s “CALENTAMIENTO” (the Do Now/ Warm-Up Activity) that is posted on the Smart Board or written on the white board. Please note that CALENTAMIENTOS are designed to help us get the class off to a productive start every day. You are to copy each Calentamiento as specified and answer all questions or respond to each instruction. Keep your Calentamientos arranged in order in a separate section of your binder. Calentamientos are scored and collected every 10 days and count as a PARTICIPATION GRADE. When you are absent When you are absent, I expect you to contact a classmate to find out what work you missed and/or check the school website. Copies of handouts you might have missed will be filed in your class folder in the box on the white book shelf. If you missed handing in a homework assignment, hand it in at the beginning of class the day you return. If you missed a quiz or test, you must set up a time with me to make-up the assignment within one week of your absence.

Extra Help If you need help or have questions I can be available before or after school. You must make an attempt to complete your assignments at home. TO BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO SEÑORA AVILES BY TUES SEPT. 15, 2015

I have received and read Señora Aviles’s 2015-2016 STUDENT EXPECTATIONS and CLASSROOM RULES letter. I understand that these rules are in effect so that I and all other students may have a positive learning experience this year in Spanish class.
