Ms. Bech’s Classroom

Expectations

1. Be on time

Though the LT APs automatically assign consequences for tardies, if it’s a pattern I will also

contact your parent/guardian.

If you’re more than 15 minutes late, state policy defines this as absent.

2. Bring Required Materials with You to Class.

3. Stuff Superfluous to Scholarship Stays Stashed

and out of Sight!

Electronic devices that are heard or seen, will be

confiscated (unless you have special permission).

I’m taking that!

Mean Ms. Bech

• "Why is multitasking, texting a problem? It has an impact on students' ability to understand and absorb, code, store and process information -- and learn. Memory and attention are limited. Students don't realize that when they study and engage in other activities, that multitasking comes at a price."~David Pisoni, Chancellor's Professor of

psychology at Indiana University

A few other class guidelines

Remember: Ms. Bech dismisses you, not the bell.

• Reserve bathroom use for when you truly need it.

Can you explain theme again?
