Mrs. Hoover’s Classroom Expectations

About Me…

5 Rules

• One person talks at a time(usually me)• 3,2,1 = Silence (Seriously)• Be respectful (especially in front of company)• Be prepared ( I have paper and pens. Just grab

them. If you disturb class asking neighbors I will consider you unprepared. )

• Be on task

Discipline Book

•Step 1 = Warning •Step 2 = Sign the book

Automatic Sign the book

• Tardy• Unprepared (No pen, no paper, missing

homework without telling me first)• Talking after 3,2,1

The Book

• Name/ Date /Reason/ Parent # /2nd Chance

So What????The consequences of signing the book

• Phone call home (depending on attitude and infraction I may call home at any time once you have signed the book)

• More than once in a week I will call home• 3 or more in a week = Counselor referral• After counseling referral all other instances of

signing book make you a Frequent Signer (You don’t want to be that)

2nd Chance

• At any time if you believe you have been told to sign the book unfairly mark 2nd chance. This lets me know you want to talk about it and are ready not to waste class time with individual issues. I find it to be a sign of maturity and will often erase the signing. I will not do this if it becomes commonplace, however. I will listen to these anytime before or after class or before or after school for up to 24hours after the incident.

Citizenship Grade

• 2 or more missing assignments will not receive an O even if they have never signed the book

(I consider doing the work assigned to be directly related to one’s citizenship. Your behavior may earn an “S” for satisfactory but Outstanding is reserved for those that diligently complete assignments.)

• Frequent Signers= N or U• More than 3 Total signs a quarter = S

Good News?Bathroom Passes

• 3 a quarter• Use for going to the bathroom, getting a drink, going to your lockerand…

Citizenship Buyback

• You can use extra bathroom passes to improve your citizenship.

• Twice a quarter I will discuss citizenship with each of you individually.

• Extra bathroom passes factor into this conversation and may restore your citizenship back to an S or O if it has fallen below.

• If you are the perfect child, I will take back bathroom passes at the end of the quarter and reward you with candy.

Late Work

• Acc. loses 25% a day until 3rd day which the assignment is worth zero

• Gen loses 10% a day until 5th day when the assignment is worth zero

• All late work must be put in the late basket with a late slip filled out, even if you were absent.

• No work will be graded without a late slip attached and properly filled out.

Late Work
