Classroom Rules/Policies/Guidelines
 
Class Procedures
  • Arrive to class on time
  • Enter and Exit the locker rooms through the gymnasium.
  • Change into appropriate physical education attire. This means shorts, sweat pants
    or wind pants, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Follow the school dress code rules and
    no hats. Dress appropriately for the weather. Jackets may be necessary. Tied sneakers are Mandatory.
  • Follow the attendance procedure.
  • Respect all school, facility and unit rules both safety and behavioral.
  • Keep the locker room clean and neat.
  • No food, drinks, candy or gum is allowed at any time. These are safety hazards
    and we have many students with various food allergies. Water bottles are allowed
    outdoors and inside with teacher permission..
  • Any assessments or class time missed due to illness, injuries or absences
    must be made up. See “Make Up Options”.
  • Any notes regarding health conditions or medical excuses must be brought
    directly to the nurse. Only excuses written by the nurse’s office will be accepted.
  • Students are responsible to have a pencil available in the locker room at all times.
 
Discipline Guidelines
  • The first warning is verbal
  • On the second warning, the student will be sent to a specified area where he/she
    must remain quiet until a teachers conference can be held to correct the
    unacceptable behavior and determine consequences to be applied should the
    behavior persist.
  • The third warning will result in a detention. A form may be sent home with the
    student containing the behavior, date and time of the detention. This slip must be
    returned the next school day signed by the parent/guardian. Any detention will
    require the student to give a written account of the behavior and steps for
    improvement.
  • Failure to sit quietly in the specified area or a fourth warning may require the
    removal of a student by the teacher or an administrator to the office. In this case
    the student will receive a detention and/or an office consequence.
  • Serious offenses will be dealt with immediately to step 4. Such offenses may
    include, fighting, bullying or harassment of any kind.
  • Any student who fails to return a detention slip or stay for his/her detention will
    receive double time and a phone call will be made to the home. Any further miss
    will result in notification to the office.
