Some important things to remember
Riding the busIs a privilege, not a right.Expectations are the same as being on campusTwo (2) bus referrals will result in the loss of bus privileges for the year.
FightingWill NOT be tolerated.Filming, watching, or encouraging others to fight are punishable offenses under the new Code of Conduct.
Some important things to remember
How to Go HomeCar Riders will be called first and leave out the front of the building and proceed immediately to cars.1st Wave of bus riders will be called next and will exit out the rear of the building and proceed immediately to the buses. Football players are the only athletes that are allowed to leave during 1st Wave.2nd Wave of bus riders will be called next and will exit out the rear of the building and proceed immediately to the buses. All Athletes and Extended Day students will be dismissed with the 2nd wave but will exit out the front doors.Bikers and Walkers will be the last to be dismissed and will exit out the back of the buildings in order to avoid dangers of moving traffic.
Some important things to remember
How to Go HomeElectives will release WHEN THE WAVE IS CALLED NOT SOONER!!! You will be given time to go to your locker, but do not play around and miss your bus.Again…..all athletes are dismissed when the 2nd wave of buses are dismissed and not sooner. You will be in trouble with your coaches if you leave earlier.There will be additional teachers monitoring the hallways and around the buildings. If you are caught walking around when your wave has not been called, you risk having to come to morning detention.
Statements are the best way for students to communicate with Administration.
Statements are reserved for violations of the Code of Conduct, or serious issues.
Students will not be allowed to leave class to write a statement, unless the teacher has told them to do so.
Statements are for the individual. It is not a group effort.
“So I’m not allowed to write a statement whenever I want?”
Great Question!
Not during class time, unless a teacher tells you to.
You can write a statement at home, before or after school, or during lunch time.
Pick up a statement form in your House Office.
Champ ProtocolsC – Conversation levelH - HelpA - ActivityM - MovementP – Participation
CHAMPs is part of establishing a SYSTEM of rituals and routines.
1.What is the signal to stop talking and give the adult in the room your attention?
Dropping off
All students report to 2nd or 6th period before lunch. You may have 1st, 2nd, or 3rd lunch depending on the class you are in during this period.
Teachers escort the class to the doors of the cafeteria.
Teachers will then escort students to their table
Teachers will then signal Admin in the cafeteria, get a confirmation, and then leave.
Still got that ID?
Students wearing their IDs will be dismissed to get lunch first.
There are 3 lines in the cafeteria for food.
2 will serve students wearing their ID
Picking up
Teachers will go to their table, and make sure that the area is clean.
If necessary, leave 1 student to wipe and sweep.
Please signal to Admin that you are taking your class.
Skateboards, Bicycles, Scooters, Roller Blades, Unicycles, Heelies, etc.
If a teacher allows a student to keep something in their closet/classroom, it is the student’s responsibility to fetch the item before 2nd wave leaves campus.
Once 2nd wave leaves campus, so do teachers. They can and do lock classrooms, with your precious inside.
None of these items are permitted to be ridden on campus.
Please ensure that you have reached the Kernan Boulevard intersection before riding away.

Mrs. Norris’ Class
About Me
For us to have a wonderful year, there are some guidelines to follow
The front is my space. Ask before borrowing anything.
Going behind my desk can become dangerous. Stay out….
Seriously…..it really isn’t safe…
The screen you are looking at is VERY expensive. Please do not touch unless instructed and do not try to go behind it.
Weekly agenda and CHAMPs are on the far left of the board. It is your responsibility to write down the class work and homework in you planner at the beginning of every week. Once you do this, you can earn a stamp for your stamp sheet to earn a free homework pass.
SSR (your silent reading time)It is now a school-wide
requirement to read for 5 to 10 minutes at the beginning of every class. For my class, you will read first, answer a question about your reading on an readers slip, and then begin your warm up.
SSR (your silent reading time)Readers slips will be collected for a
grade every class. It is your responsibility to bring a book
everyday to class. Some days I will provide an article that will cover both SSR time and Warm Up.
Rules for class time, Popsicle and Group Review are listed on the right of the board and above.
Assignments will be listed here by day. This is what you will write on you own Table of Contents.
Homework (Home Learning) will be given 2 – 3 times a week. If you are not doing your homework, your grade will be negatively effected and a possible parent conference will be needed….
Standards are here at the front.
Higher Order and Essential Questions will be around the room on the cork strips.
Student friendly standards and Unit Vocab will be here.
Class Work will be turned into the class bin. If its early, put it underneath.
My Class is like a Cruise Ship
If you are turning in your work, you are above “C” level.
If you forget something, you might fall off the boat and now you are at “C” level. You will need some help to get back up.
If you are not coming to school and not doing the work, you will fall below “C” level. You will drown if you don’t accept the help.
Read The Board!!!!!
Warm Up question and answer need to written down.
Extra stamp sheets, table of contents and wish lists are over here.
Sometimes we don’t have time to answer all the questions. Sometimes people are nervous about asking questions during class. Sometimes there is an issue that I need to know about. Use the Thought Box.
Make sure your name is on your paper. Double check here if you don’t get an assignment back.
Work is passed back from here by the paper people.
Lost and Found
Class library is available to you. Just make sure to ask and make sure to return.
We are waiting for a new pencil sharpener….
When we get the sharpener, please ask before using. Follow CHAMPs.
Fill out Bathroom Log every time you leave and return.
Stay out of class closet unless told to specifically grab something. You will see everything in there worth seeing at some point this year.
The science book is your responsibility. Bring it to class everyday. If you lose it, it will cost around $65 to replace with Ms. Rhodes. You will need it EVERYDAY.
Computers and laptops will be used for assignments and when requested for school work at appropriate times.
Laptops will be locked daily and will not be used everyday.
Laptops will need to be returned correctly and neatly after each use and both cords need to be plugged in. If a class or individual does not use the laptops correctly, they will no longer have access.
The laptops are touch screen and convertible. If you have a stylist you may want to bring it to class to use.
Dictionaries are available. Please return neatly when finished.
Schedule, CHAMPs information Team Rules and Expectations are posted for your benefit.
Tissues and hand sanitizer are located around the room. Get permission first if needed.
Sinks with soap will be used for labs and with permission. Clean up when you are done.
Leave the sink at the demonstration counter alone.
Backpacks and tote bags for gym are not allowed in the classroom.
Materials are available if used appropriately and respectfully. Ask permission first and do not vandalize. If things start going missing, all classes will be on their own.
