My+Class+Act+Policy


 * Edlavitch’s Classroom Guidelines**

1. Come to class on time. Standing outside the door and rushing in after the bell has begun to ring will constitute a tardy. You must be INSIDE the door when it begins ringing to be counted on time. Three tardies equal a detention.

2. Take out your homework. I will walk around to make sure everyone has their completed homework on their desk. If your homework is not complete, you will be instructed to call home and will be referred to ARC (Academic Referral Center). Coming to class unprepared with homework three times equals a detention.

3. Attend to personal needs before coming to class. Only one student is allowed out of the classroom at a time, so please do not ask for a pass unless you have a true emergency. If you must use the bathroom, you must sign yourself out and take the pass.

4. Respect other’s personal space. Keep you hands to yourself. Hands off your classmates’ belongings unless you have been given permission. Make sure your area is neat and tidy, so people don’t trip over your belongings.

5. Do not eat candy or other food in class unless you have been given special permission. Only fruit and vegetables or other healthy foods are allowed as a snack. Water is allowed.

6. Bring required materials every day unless you are otherwise directed. You must bring your agenda book, pen/pencil, notebook, and binder every day. You must write down your homework assignments in your agenda book every day. If you do not have any homework, write “none.” 7. Talk only when permitted. Be aware of the situation since quiet talking is allowed in some situations and speaking to the entire group without raising your hand may be allowed in others. I will remind you once and expect compliance.

8. Use polite speech and body language. Unkind teasing and impolite behavior is unacceptable in my classroom. I expect everyone to treat each other with respect. Inappropriate language in both Spanish and English will NOT be tolerated.

9. Do not cheat. Students caught cheating will receive a zero and a phone call home. Both the student who shares his/her work for an independent assignment AND the person who copies it will suffer the same consequences. I expect you to do your own work and to be sure no one can copy it.

10. Follow the teacher's directions immediately. If we all stay Class Act, we will have a safe classroom and everyone will be happy.


 * Mrs. Edlavitch's homework policy:**

1. Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date. Half credit will be given for assignments that are turned in during class the next school day. After that, students will receive zero credit for late assignments.

2. Although credit will not be given beyond one late school day, I still have to right to determine if the work shall be completed regardless.

3. If you were absent, it is YOUR responsibility to find out your missing work. Check this WIKI for all assignments!
