Restroom Breaks

• You CANNOT go to the restroom the first or last 10 minutes of class.

• If I am instructing OR giving directions, you will not be able to go to the restroom, so DON’T ASK.

THE DO’S

You should be learning at all times. Take advantage of the class period to do work.

Be kind to everyone.

When asked a question by the teacher, you should respond “Yes ma’am or No ma’am”. Saying “What” is unacceptable!

Be respectful. This means treating people the way you want to be treated.

Help each other. There will come a time when you will need it.

Work as a team. This is not a competition, so share your knowledge with others. This shows that you are a leader.

**If you fail to follow these procedures you will receive a consequence.

THE DON’TS

Don’t get out of your seat without raising your hand and asking permission.

Don’t blurt out answers, always raise your hand first.

Don’t interrupt someone if they are talking – that includes the teacher!

Don’t get up and throw away trash without asking.

Don’t throw trash in the trash can from your desk.

Don’t be a bully. It only shows just how scared you really are.

**If you fail to follow these procedures you will receive a consequence.

This is IMPORTANT! You CAN do it!

I WON’T GIVE UP on you!
