ACT Prep 2013-2014 Classroom Guidelines and Procedures Mrs. Green

All students in Mrs. Green’s class will follow the Bulldog Code.

THE BULLDOG CODE: *Be responsible. *Be respectful. *Be ready to learn. BE RESPONSIBLE:  DO YOUR VERY BEST!!  Be in your seat when the bell rings. Mrs. Green will follow the tardy policy outlined in the RHS handbook.  When absent, you may obtain your assignment from the side board, another classmate or Mrs. Green. You will be given the same number of days you were absent to complete your work. If you miss a test or quiz, please make an appointment with Mrs. Green so that the task is made up ASAP!!  On test days, please bring a book to read or work from another class so you will not disturb other students that are still working.  Make sure your area is clean when you depart the classroom. BE RESPECTFUL:  Be considerate to each of your classmates. Treat Mrs. Green and others as you would like to be treated.  Raise your hand to talk. Listen to what others are asking and saying.  Keep all hands, feet, personal objects, and unkind remarks (including foul language) to yourself!  When the bell rings, Mrs. Green will dismiss the class. BE READY TO LEARN:  You will be given a notebook just for this class. Note sheets will be given almost daily and are expected to be filled out. If you are absent, Mrs. Green will provide you with a copy of the notes. Notebooks will be turned in quarterly for a test score of 50 pts.  BE PREPARED FOR CLASS EVERY DAY! Bring your homework, folder with notes, paper, and PENCIL.  Maintain an undistracted learning atmosphere by refraining from the use of electronic devices.

Discipline Procedures 1st—Verbal Warning 2nd—after school detention/Parent notification 3rd—Trip to visit Mr. Ray or Mrs. Herrman In case of severe misconduct, the first procedure may be skipped. Grading Guidelines 1. Students will be graded on a total points system. Students will have worksheets to complete and will be taking sample test. Worksheets will be graded the following day unless told otherwise.

2. Practice (homework) is a vital part of a class. Math is not a spectator subject, it is a participatory subject. You must practice these math skills in order to master them, even if homework will not be graded daily. Homework will be assigned daily. If not completed in class, you will be expected to finish the assignment as homework. If you are having trouble with your work, Mrs. Green is available before school starting at 7:30 and after school until 4:00 or after for extra help, but please give me the courtesy of letting me know you are coming. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU FALL BEHIND!! Please feel free to come by anytime, I will be more than happy to help you conquer these troubles. Everyone needs help sometime in life in order to succeed and that is part of my job—to help you SUCCEED!!

3. You are expected to take notes and keep them in your folder. You are in the Math section for 9 weeks and English for 9 weeks.
