Class Expectations
ALL SCHOOL RULES APPLY TO THIS CLASS!  PLEASE REFER TO YOUR STUDENT HANDBOOK.

Reading Comprehension Homework

Solo Reading Comprehension assignments will be given every day and checked the following class day.. At the end of each class period, the teacher will remind you to write down the Solo assignment  in your agenda. If you do not have computer access, then you must complete the workbook assignment and quickly input it into the “Solo” part of the Amplify website at the beginning of class. . Homework will also be posted on the school website. Go to WWW.mykla.org, then access the link to the teacher’s class.

Beginning of Class Procedures

1.     Gather all supplies that will be necessary to succeed in class out of backpack.

2.     Leave backpack in assigned backpack area (you will not be able to access backpack for the rest of the period.)

3.     Retrieve notebook and computer quietly.

4.     Quietly walk to your assigned seat.

5. Sign into Amplify

6.     Begin Vocabulary

7.     Check the board for next steps.

8.     Wait for further instructions from the teacher.

Restroom Policy

To use the restroom, I will require you to have your student agenda.  You will be allowed to leave the room ONCE per week.  I expect that you will ask to use the restroom and have your planner open and ready to be signed.  If you do not have your student agenda, you will not be permitted to use the restroom. 

Hand Raising

Students must raise their hands to speak out loud in class unless specifically directed otherwise by the teacher. 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. Non-compliance will result in consequences such as lowering of the student’s citizenship grade, detention, and/or a call home.

 Countdown  =  the teacher may count down from 10 to 1. At “1” students must be back to their seats, quiet, and ready to follow directions. Students not following directions will receive a loss of citizenship points.

Absences and Missed Work:

• Students are responsible for all work missed work during their absence. All assignments will be posted online.
• The student should set up an appointment with the teacher to go over and to turn in any missed work. Late work may only be submitted during the teacher’s tutoring time after school.
• Missed work is the responsibility of the student to make up!

Citizenship Points

You start with 20 points each week, which is an “E”

For each violation you lose  1  point.

Violations

• Backpacks at seat

• Not getting quick questions started within 1 minute of bell
• Not facing forward/paying attention while the teacher is talking.

At the end of each week this will be your grade based on violations. This will be added up at the end of each grading period for your citizenship grade.

16 - 17  =G             12-13 = N

Parent Involvement

I believe that the education of your child requires a team effort. Please feel free to contact me whenever you have questions. I hope that your child has a productive year in which their appreciation of history and language arts grows. Please sign the below and have your child return to me. The remaining pages must be kept in the student’s binder/folder for future reference. the teacher reserves the right to change his policies and expectations at any time. This will be the first assignment for the student worth a total of 10 points.
