Classroom Rules & Discipline
Classroom Rules & Discipline
1. Follow the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. (That also applies to
me as your teacher.)
2. Be prepared for class. Bring required materials (assignments, books, writing materials,
etc.).
3. Be in your assigned seat BEFORE the tardy bell rings, otherwise you will be counted
tardy.
4. Don't touch ANYTHING unless given permission and instructions before doing so.
5. Respect the personal and property rights of others. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
6. Receive permission BEFORE speaking. Raise your hand, and wait to be called on,
otherwise be quiet and listen.
7. No GUM, FOOD, or DRINKS in my classroom, unless other instructions have been given.
8. DO NOT disobey or talk back to the teacher. Be respectful at all times. Respect deserves
respect.
10. Keep the room clean. Throw waste in the trash can AT THE END OF CLASS!
12. NO SLEEPING!!!
14. The teacher reserves the right to add or change the rules at any time as needs arise.
Discipline
An offense is breaking of any of the above rules and inappropriate behavior. Different rule
infractions or behavior problems will result in the second to fourth offenses.
Expectations for classroom behavior
1. Complete and comprehend all reading assignments as discussed in chapter outline. You are
responsible for all material in the reading whether it is discussed in class or not!
2. Complete all assignments on time for full credit. Assignments are accepted up to two days
late for half credit.
7. Help each other out, but do your own work. Cheating will not be tolerated at all. It will
result in a zero for both the cheater and the person being cheated from.
