T- Take responsibility for YOUR actions
- Come prepared to class to learn with a positive attitude. Students will be expected to be in class on time and with all materials needed for class. (Binder, book, homework, pencil sharpened and be seated and ready to learn.) Tardiness will result in a discipline form and possibly detention.
- Instructional time is imperative. Students will not be allowed to leave the class, unless for an emergency.
- Students will not be allowed to have cell phone out at any time. If I see or hear a cell phone it will be taken up and given to administration.
- Students are expected to stay in their personal space. No horseplay, hitting, shoving of any kind. Students will respect each other and at no point will vulgar language be tolerated. This will result in a detention.
- Students will not be allowed to bring drinks or food into the class. Water may be allowed, but it must be in a water bottle.
- Students will follow all rules and expectations of South Cumberland Elementary School. Please refer to the Student Handbook for those rules and expectations.
