Discipline Plan

Classroom Rules:

  1. Treat yourself, others, and school property with RESPECT by your actions and language.

  2. 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 room when the bell rings.

  3. Begin warm up activity within one minute after the tardy bell has rung. Directions will be on the paper or on the board so that you may work quietly until I am ready to start class.

  4. Attend to personal needs before coming to class. You are given five passes out. Once those five passes are used you have NO MORE PASSES OUT.

  5. Do not bring any food, candy,  or drinks into this classroom. This applies to EVERYONE! You are allowed a break and this is your time to eat and drink.

  6. Talk at appropriate times and NOT while anyone is addressing the class. Be alert to what is going to what is going on in class. There are times in class that allows for a group to talk while others do not.

  7. Listen carefully and follow directions the FIRST time they are given. Keep me happy and we will have a better classroom experience!

  8. Bring required materials to class EVERY day.

Penalties for breaking rules:

1st Time: Verbal Warning and Name on the board

2nd Time: Writing Assignment on why you can't follow the rules.

3rd Time: Demerits and call to parents

4th: Removed from class until behavior can be controlled.

Severe Disruption: Students will automatically be sent to the office. (All of the following constitutes as a severe offense: fighting, use of profanity, destruction of school property, disrespect shown toward adults.)
