  15. Procedures Classroom Procedures • Students are to receive permission from the classroom teacher to get out of their seats. • To get the teacher’s attention students should raise their hand. • Students are to use the bathroom and get water only after receiving permission from the teacher. If they have a bathroom emergency or need a drink of water students should use the appropriate hand signal. Water bottles are allowed. • Students are to begin their morning procedures at 8:05. They are to have sharpened two pencils, copied posted homework, turned in their homework, read any morning messages, and completed the warm-up by 8:25. • Most students have jobs and perform them daily. • If students finish work early, they may complete other unfinished assignments, read a book, or choose from a selection of posted activities.

  16. Procedures (Continued) General School Procedures • Students arrive between 7:45 and 8:00 am. • The day starts at 8:05 am. Students follow their morning procedures when they arrive: • Unpack • Place their homework in the homework tray • Sharpen two pencils • Copy posted homework in their agenda books • Start their morning work Students follow these procedures at dismissal: • Read the board for what they need to take home for the day and make sure they have copied the homework for the night. • Next students are dismissed by the teacher to pack up to go home. • Students will read silently while awaiting dismissal • They are dismissed as their mode of transportation is called over the intercom. • Car riders and walkers stack the chairs before they are dismissed.

  17. Homework Homework • Homework is given Monday through Friday. • Students will receive a 0 for late homework assignments unless a parent gives a valid explanation for the missing assignment in writing (i.e. family emergencies); in addition, assignments received with no name will also receive 0’s. • The students are responsible for copying their homework in their agenda books everyday. • A spelling pre-test will be given once a week with a spelling test at the end of the week. Students will either complete Silver or Gold list spelling assignments and a weekly test based upon their pretest results.
