Classroom+Procedures+and+Discipline

=School Rules =
 * I expect students to observe school rules concerning electronics, use of handbooks, dress code, food and drinks, being on time for class, etc.
 * I expect that you be present and on time for class. If you are not in my classroom for part or all of my classtime, you should have my permission, unless you have been summoned by administration, counseling office, nurse, or another teacher.

=Lav Policy =
 * In the classroom, permission to use the lav will be granted if you ask before the beginning bell for class or during a convenient transition between activities or during worktime. Please sign out.
 * In the library, permission will be granted before the beginning bell, or in the last five minutes of the block.
 * Please do not ask at other times unless you are feeling ill. If you have a medical reason to need the lav more often than this, please tell me privately.
 * Use your cellphone for collateral, leave it on my desk. Have your handbook.

=Speaking in Class =
 * Raise your hand to be recognized and wait until I acknowledge you.
 * When you participate in class or ask a question, it is important that ALL students in the room can hear you! We all learn from all of us.
 * All comments and questions asked publicly should be for the general good of the entire class. Examples include:
 * //Substantive question or comment contributing to a class discussion //
 * //Question about the content of a lecture or instructions you are being given //
 * //Question about how will you be graded or what is expected of you //
 * //Question about why a test question/answer is wrong or right //
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Questions or comments that benefit only the person asking should not be asked publicly. Instead, please approach the teacher before or after class, or during a break from formal instruction. Examples include:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Q//uestions about papers and essays, comments written on them, deductions made, etc.//
 * //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Permission to visit the lav, nurse, office, counseling office, etc. (except in the case of an emergency) //

=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Class Dismissal =
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Packing up before the teacher gives permission is rude. You will be permitted time to pack your belongings. One student will signal the teacher when the bell will soon ring.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those who pack up before permission is given will be leaving the classroom last.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lining up at the door is forbidden. If you like to line up, please line up along the windows. Otherwise, you should stay at your desks until the bell rings.
