What are the rules?
The rules are in the syllabus online.
Basically if your student respect others and treats others as he/she would like to be treated we won’t have any issues.
Guidelines for Students
I have several guidelines that should help students settle in to a rhythm that will keep them out of “trouble”.
Guideline #1Be in your assigned seat and working on the assigned bell work when the tardy bell rings.
Note: This does NOT mean you are running in the door as the bell is ringing.
Guideline #2
Bring ALL materials to class and take them with you when you leave.
Guideline #3
Follow directions the first time they are given.
Guideline #4
Treat each person in this room with respect and dignity.
Guideline #5
Follow all procedures and policies as outlined in the HHS and HUSD handbooks.
Guideline #6
No Food or Drinks
Water is allowed in clear containers!

Classroom Procedures
Getting student attention
I DO NOT Yell therefore I will:
Stand in front of the class
Raise my hand
Wait for everyone to be quiet
Begin speaking
Classroom Discussions
I want to hear what students say
Students should make all questions and comments relevant to the current discussion
If a question is off the topic, then students should write it down and ask later.
Moving around the room
Students may move around the room when they need to if it is work time. Please stay seated at other times.
Do not ask to move around during lecture or a classroom discussion unless it is an emergency.
After an excused absence Look in the homework folder and at the
assignment verification list on the bulletin board.
Copy the homework from the Assignment sheet
Retrieve any handouts
Please note— all lessons and notes are posted for students on my website—more on that in a minute.
