PACKTo Leave: I will not accept written passes or phone calls asking me to send a kid.  Only PACK passes accepted are those teacher PACK passes distributed to teachers from

the office.

Movement is controlled by the teacher not the student.  No movement No talking

You can not sign out because you choose to go see a teacher or go somewhere. 

I have a sign out sheet.  To signing out you must have an approved pass or your name is on the permanent

intervention list. No Pass No go.

You are to leave at the start of PACK not halfway through.  You have 3 - 4 minutes to be where you need to be.

PACKTo Arrive: Stay Awhile: You will not be sent back. 

You will stay here once you arrive

If you misplace the pass you lose the privilege to come see me. If you abuse the privilege such as leave and not go

where you are supposed to etc. you lose the privilege for 1 week and if you do it again you lose it for the month and after that the semester.

Every student signs in when they arrive at their destination.

Entering the room: Enter the room

quietly and respectfully.

No shouting, play fighting or cussing

I am not available at the start of the class

• Please wait to talk to me during the last 5 minutes of class, during work time or make an appointment with me.

Start on Time & Tardy Tardy means inside the classroom when the bell

rings Follow BHHS Tardy Procedures

Head directly to the Attendance Office Sweepers will escort you to their if you choose not to

go Return to class IMMEDIATELY

You only have 3 min. from the time on your pass to make it to class – otherwise you are Truant

Be seated and get to work –DO NOT DISRUPT THE CLASS – this will constitute a

BIF

Start on Time: What can I expect?

Your classes will always START on Time! even when you are late

You will be treated fairly and with respect. Your tardy will be recorded.

The consequences outlined in our Student Handbook for repeated tardiness within a semester are as follows: 1st and 2nd tardy: teacher will address the concern in

the classroom 3rd and 4th tardy: teacher assigns Student Court and 5th or more: Office referral, resulting in Friday

Workday assignments (during ACT). Students with excessive tardies may be placed on

an attendance contract.

Getting to work immediately:

You are expected to have all material out and on your desk ready to roll. Sharpen pencils at this

time. Get Textbook if needed.

Look at board and follow opening/bell ringer activities.

Electronic Devices There are no

unauthorized electronic devices allowed in room 204. You are here to learn and

electronic devices are distracting.

I will take your electronic device if I see it, hear it or smell it.

• 1st offense: until the end of the day

• 2nd offense: in the office until a parent picks

it up

10/10 RULE and End-of-Period dismissal:

The first and last 10 minutes are still valuable class minutes.

You are expected to use them wisely.

NO ONE is to leave during this time.

THE DOOR The door is not a magical

portal! You may not huddle

around the door. Stay seated until the bell

rings. 10/10 Rule fire hazard rather claustrophobic tells me you haven’t used

your time wisely

If you choose, must unwisely to huddle around the door, you will donate your time.

Not worth it!

Coming to attention: I will raise my hand and ask for your attention.

“3, 2, 1”

Attention means no talking this includes non-verbal communication that is so

distracting: eye-rolling, notes, sign language.

IF you are listening to someone else when I need your attention that is considered talking – please get yourself and your partner to focus.

We have TOO much respect to do this!

Listening and responding to lectures, questions and directions:

You must listen to lectures, questions and directions without off-task talking.

Please take notes during lectures. Respond when called on without your

default “I don’t know”.

Take a risk!

When you need a pencil or paper: You should not have to ask for these, as you

should already have them. This is part of being prepared.

I charge a shoe for the class time use of a pen or pencil. You give me back my pencil I give you back your

shoe.

It is best to ask someone close by VERY quietly and without distracting anyone.

Knowing the schedule for the class: Look at the agenda when you come in.

All pertinent information will be there, in your planner or the Wiki page.

http://mshummelbhhs.pbworks.com

Write down the agenda every Monday and revise as needed.

How to move about the room: Zen Bubble

VERY quietly and without distracting anyone – you are not to draw attention to yourself.

Asking a question: During

instructional time please raise hand and wait until I respond.

I know it may not be as fast as you’d like but I will get to you.

Headings on papers: Please put your full name, my last name,

the date, assignment name and period on the top corner of your papers.

them at the next person.
