Guidelines for Success (Rules)

Clase del Sr. Schmalhorst

Guidelines for Success RESPECT yourself, teacher, peers and all

staff Be in your assigned seat ready to work

when the bell rings Bring paper, pen, pencils, agenda and any

other supplies needed everyday Keep hands, feet, book, and other objects to

your self . Do not throw things (paper) across the room.

No swearing, rude gestures, or put downs are allowed

Classroom Procedures:Entering the room

The students will enter the room and pick up their notebooks, and work on the warm-up activity of the day. Be serious about your studies and come prepared.

Ending class

Students will put away all material and organize the classroom for the next class. They also will wait to be dismissed by the teacher.

Restroom

I do not allow restroom breaks during class. Go before you come to class.

Materials

I will ask for one or two volunteers to help distribute and pick up the material used during class. I will not release until all materials are picked up and organized.

Assignments I try to have a variety or assignment such as

book work, participation, worksheets, and projects. I will have at least fifteen daily grades and three major grades. The major grades can be two tests and a project.

If an assignment is late more than two days, the highest grade will be a 70.

If the student is absent, the student will have the same number of days to make up the assignment.

Parent Communication

I keep a log of all the phone calls and e-mails sent to the parents.

I make contact with parents regarding grades and behavior.

I also try to give a follow up call to let the parents know if the behavior has improved.

Grading system

I follow the district guide lines. Spanish language classes use a 60/40

formula . Test- If the student fails a test, he or she

may retest and receive the average of the two, or may make corrections to the test for additional points.

Textbooks

Respect the books! Our textbooks are valuable resources and must be treated as such. Treating the textbook roughly will result in a referral and a call home.

At the end of class, a student volunteer will be responsible for giving me a book count before you are dismissed.
