“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn,

no one can stop you.”

Be on time. Enter the classroom quietly. Grab your calculator from the calculator

caddy (unless otherwise posted). Get your binder from the bookshelf. Sharpen your pencil before class starts. If

you do not have a pencil, TELL ME. Go directly to your assigned seat. Copy your homework into your agenda. Begin working on your opener and calendar.

Listen and pay attention at all times. Raise your hand to ask a question or to

sharpen your pencil if it should break. If I am writing notes, you’d better be too. All openers, notes, homework

assignments, tests, quizzes, etc. should be done in pencil. No pens in math class.

No side conversations during instruction. Participate.

You will keep a 1 1/2 inch binder in class. Each class will have a different section on the book shelf to keep your binder in.

The outside cover of your binder should be a title page including your name and class period. You will also put your name and class period on the side spine of the binder.

You will be given dividers so that you can organize your binder into sections. Within your binder, you will keep your opener/calendar sheet, any notes, extra practice, assessments, and anything else deemed important

You will have homework, expect it. You will usually have time at the end of

class to work on it. Always put your first and last name,

the date, and your class period on each assignment.

Always do homework in PENCIL. Homework assignments will be

collected or checked the next day.

You will be dismissed by tables to put your binder back on the bookshelf. You will not leave your binder on your table.

I will dismiss you, the bell does not dismiss you.

We will not leave class until all my calculators are on the wall and I have all my pencils back.

Pick up around your table. Do not leave garbage on your desk or on the floor.

Push your chair under the table and exit quietly.

Tardiness is not acceptable. A tardy will be excused only if you bring a

note from your teacher. If you don’t have a note, you will be

marked tardy. On your second tardy, you will call home. On your third tardy you will receive a referral with the administration. Every tardy after the third will result in a referral. This is the tardy policy at Crawford.

See me the day you return to school for your assignments. Do the work at home.

I will make a copy of our notes for the day(s) you miss and you can copy them into your binder after you finish your math work for the day.

If you miss a test, you will need to schedule a day after school you can stay with me and take it.

It is your responsibility to come to me after you’re absent. I will not track

you down.

1.Be respectful.2.Be patient.3.Be on task.4.Be prepared.5.Be on time.

In this class, we will follow the demerit system at all times. However, in

addition to that, I expect you follow my classroom expectations. If you fail

to do so, the following steps will occur:1. Verbal warning2. Name on the board3. Student conference/ check mark beside name4. Detention/parent contact5. Referral to administration

Severe interruption: sent to the office immediately.

If I should be absent from school, I expect you to give the substitute complete respect.

All rules and procedures should be followed every day regardless of who is up front.

If your name is left by a substitute for any negative reason, you will receive a referral, a detention with me after school, and I will call home.

The number one rule in this class is to be respectful. This does not change when I’m not here.

Lock Down:› Calmly get to front left corner of the room. › Absolutely no talking

Fire Drill:› Calmly walk in a straight line down the hallway

toward the eighth grade and to the left toward the bus lot.

› DO NOT RUN.› Find Ms. Shockey’s line and stay there until we are

allowed to come in Tornado Drill:

› We will go out into the hallway, get into the correct position and wait for further instructions.

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

I know that we are going to have an amazing year! Work hard every day and I promise it will pay off!

As you enter the classroom, get a chair from the stacks in the back of the room. Place your agenda on top of your desk so that I can check them.

We will be doing Positive Action this year in AE. We will have a short lesson every day.

AE is only 22 minutes long, so we must be quick about everything we do. Paying attention is key.

25% Agenda—Having your agenda every day gives you “free” points!

50% Positive Action Activities—Completing PA is necessary.

25% Participation—Participating is also a part of your grade.

This is a simple class if you do what you are supposed to do.

7th hour has a different procedure for dismissal because it is the last class of the day.

All calculators and other supplies need to be put away before we leave.

We will ALL pick up around the room, no garbage will be left anywhere in the room.

About 3 minutes before the bell rings, we will stack our chairs in the back of the room.

You will sit on your table waiting for the announcements, we will not crowd the door.

During afternoon announcements, there is absolutely no talking. I will hold you after school if you talk during announcement

The bell does not dismiss you, I dismiss you.
