Rules and Procedures Fall Semester 2017 Mrs. Vessell
Welcome back! I’m SO glad to have you in my class this year! I hope you had a wonderful break. I look forward to working with you all!
Pet Peeve: Cell Phones/Tablets/Laptops/Headphones • Headphones are to come off before entering the classroom. If you have them on in my classroom, I will take them up. • You may charge your cell phones in the back of the classroom. The side plugs and the computer are off limits. • You may not use any technology unless I expressly give you permission to do so. Otherwise, I will take it up. • Let’s try something new… Electronics should be one of two places. • Out:In a phone zone • Put away:In book bag, purse, or pocket • NOT: Inside your desk, in your lap, hiding under books
6 steps to an A… • Come to School • LISTEN • Do ALL Homework/Classwork—On time • Stay Organized • Utilize My Teacher Website • ASK QUESTIONS!

Classroom Rules • Be respectful and courteous to your teacher and peers. • Bring all of your English materials to class each day. • Assume responsibility for your actions and your assignments. • Keep your desk and the surrounding area clean. • NO food will be allowed in the classroom. • Only use technology when permitted to do so.
Three Strikes Policy • Anytime the class as a whole is being loud and/or disrespectful, the class will receive a strike. • Get three strikes?—You’re silent until the end of class, or until I tell you otherwise. Those who talk during a silent period will receive a detention.
Detention Policy How does this work? • Eating/having food out in class • Talking during a silent day • Excessive tardies • Disrespectful behavior • Sleeping • You will have one week to serve your detention from the date given. If you do not serve the detention, then it will result in an office referral. • Detentions are held every day after school. • You may also serve detention before school, but by appointment only. How to get detention:
Tardy Policy • BE ON TIME to class! This will help you avoid getting “locked out” • The door will close when the late bell rings. If you are outside the door, you are late and will be marked as such. • If you are late, you mustsign the tardy log.
I am missing an important educational opportunity in Mrs. Vessell’sclass for this frivolous errand. Bathroom Passes Name: Destination: Date: Teacher Signature: • You will ONLY get 5 passes out of this classroom this semester.* • Manage your time between classes and use these passes wisely. *Unless otherwise documented through Infinite Campus 5
Absent/Make-Up Work Procedures • It is YOUR responsibility to obtain your make-up work when you are absent. All quizzes and tests are made up after school. • Please consult my teacher website for a list of what you missed. You may find any missed handouts on my teacher website or in the crates in the back of the room. • AP Lang – Blue Crate • Honors American Lit – Green Crate • American Lit (3rd Period) – Purple Crate
Late Work Policy • Students must submit assignments on time; however, I realize that accidents do happen. • Late assignments must be submitted with the completed missing work log into your designated turn-in box. This includes assignments submitted online (essays, journals, and NoRedInk).The logs are kept in the bin located on the front table. • I will not grade late work without a form attached to it. I will grade late assignments AFTER assignments that were submitted on time.
English Binder • Your English Binder will be EXTREMELY important this semester. • STAY ORGANIZED! • Expect random notebook checks/pop quizzes over material learned in class.
My Family A little about myself… • Name: Mrs. Vessell • Married to Mr. Vessell • Clayton State University • 0 kids, 2 dogs (Roxy and Stella) • Favorites • Candy: Hershey’s Cookies n’ Cream bars • Book Series: Harry Potter • TV Show: Doctor Who /The Big Bang Theory • Color: Green • Hero: Mom
A little bit more… • I love to travel.
