Classroom Expectations, Rules, and Procedures

Mrs. Heather Trusty9th Grade Algebra I

Student Behaviors and Expectations1. Be ON TIME!

Be in your seat when the bell rings. If you continue to be tardy you will MISS

something vital to your success in this classroom…not to mention you will be in detention the entire year.

We now have clocks in the hallways so this should not be such a huge problem anymore. You may want to make a note of when class ends before you leave the room. You can find a bell schedule in just about every class at GJHS. Learn about your surroundings in every class!

Student Behaviors and Expectations2. Look at the Smartboard when you come in the

room and get those items listed. I will always have what items you need for the

day on the Smartboard as well as what we are doing for that day in my classroom.

You will need to have ALL the items listed on your desk as soon as you can so we do not waste any time.

It is your job to always bring your book, paper, pen/pencil, and your willingness to learn to my class EVERYDAY!!!

Student Behaviors and Expectations4. Never leave anything blank! I can work with

wrong but I can’t work with blank! I promise you that you will get problems really

really really really REALLY TOTALLY WRONG but WHO CARES!?! So will everyone else. Get over yourself. You are not perfect despite your crazy ideas about yourself. You are human and are perfectly flawed. That’s how you should be and that’s what I love about you already.

You learn by making mistakes and believe me you are going to LEARN A LOT!!!

Student Behaviors and Expectations5. Be sure and put things back where they go!

Everything is labeled in this room so when you borrow something PUT IT BACK!

If you get into the habit of not putting everything back and keeping my room clean and tidy, things you desperately love and need WILL disappear and it will usually happen about test day. BWHAHAHA yep…evil laugh!

Bullying…DON’T DO IT!

• If you see or hear about someone being bullied, you have an obligation to report them to someone! There is an anonymous locked box outside the counselor’s office that you can put their name in and no one will know it is you reporting it. You can also go to any teacher you trust!

• If a bullying investigation finds that you knew about it and did not report it, you may be called to court and actually fined or charged with aiding the bullying. YES this has happened!

• Definition of bullying: repeated, imbalance of power, and intentional.

• Know due dates, and submit all coursework on time.

Policies and Procedures• Absences

Get your missing assignments from the calendar provided in class or my website.

Each absence has a one-day grace period so you must get your assignment in the day after you come back from being absent.

• Don’t be absent unless you have to. 9th - You are HIGH SCHOOL students but you

just happen to be on a junior high campus. You are gaining credits this year that count towards your high school graduation. Your work load is about to get a lot heavier!

8th – You will miss A LOT in preparing you for high school. Guess what…I AM the only 9th grade Algebra I teacher. You have me again next year!

Policies and Procedures• Leaving the class (pause in instruction)
