Classroom Procedures

Mrs. Fowler's classroom procedures: 

When you come into the classroom: 

1. BEFORE the bell rings you are to be sitting in your seat with the following
    steps completed: 
 
		A. Sharpened pencil or blue/black pen

		B. On Mondays - Agenda Planner (purchased at registration)       
                     to list daily assignments: 
                   
                   On Mondays we fill in the entire week as a group and answer
                   any questions about the week. If you were absent on a 
                   Monday make sure you check the Agenda Calender in the  
                   classroom or this website. 
                                                
                C. Homework that is due is turned into your period folder. 
                
2. Were you absent? Check the absent folder for the assignment you missed. 
   The assignment will be in the period folder with your name on it. If you
   have any questions about the assignment see me after class.   

3. We work BELL TO BELL! There is no time to waste in a science classroom. 
   Immediately begin copying the notes, working on the journal topic, or 
   following the directions on the overhead projector. 
	
4. Complete all assignments on time. If you have been absent, you have two   
   days to complete the work you missed. If you missed a lab it will not count 
   against you. 
   
5. NO PASSES for the restroom (emergencies only), locker, or drinks.

6. NO gum, food, candy, or drinks in the science lab. 
   
7. Backpacks, jackets, hats, sunglasses, purses, Walkmans, mp3's,
   i pods, and cell phones (absolutely NO electronics!) are NOT 
   allowed in the classroom. Electronics violations are referred to the   
   principal.
