Introduction : 

Introduction Procedures are routines that are needed in our everyday life to make known expectations for behavior. There are also procedures that will be followed in this classroom. These procedures will be used to provide a positive atmosphere and a safe environment conducive for learning to take place.

Procedures for Entering the Classroom : 

Procedures for Entering the Classroom There is a certain way that I would like for you to enter the classroom. You are expected to follow these procedures: Enter the classroom quietly and do not linger around in the hallway. Go immediately to your assigned seat. Write the “Science Starter” assignment from the board onto your handout. Begin your work quietly and independently.

Procedures for Tardiness : 

Procedures for Tardiness If you are tardy for class you must: Enter the room quietly and make as less noise as possible. Sign the tardy sheet by the door. If you have a tardy pass place it in the tardy tray. Go quietly to your assigned seat. Take part in the activity that is in progress. If you do not understand the activity raise your hand and wait until you are recognized by the teacher. Wait quietly until I get to your desk; do not disturb others. You are considered tardy for class if you have not entered the classroom when the bell rings.

Procedures for Absentees It is your responsibility to ask for your make-up assignments or tests within two days during the time you return to school from being absent. If you are absent from school you must: Get the missing assignments and Science Starter activities from the absentee box before the end of class or during privileged time.

You can only make up a test after you have finished your class work for the day and previous arrangements have been made with the teacher.
