*Classroom Expectations, Rules, Procedures and

Consequences
Grade K to XII Class
CLASS EXPECTATIONS

1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others

· Show respect for the teacher, yourself and others at all times. Respect begets respect.
· Respect others’ property. Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not belong to
you (including desks, textbooks, teacher’s belongings, walls, chalkboard, etc.). Don't
expect that others will clean-up your messes. Please pick-up after yourself or Clean as
you go.
· Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language and wearing
appropriate clothing.
· Be a kind person. No bullying etc.

2. Put forth your best effort at all times

· Always do your own best work.
· Put learning ahead of getting good grades.
· Put quality ahead of just getting it done.

3. Be prepared for class each day

· Come prepared with all materials necessary:
§ An organized bag/ binder containing all necessary school materials/ handouts/
notebooks/ books
§ Looseleaf paper, pens, and pencils
§ A red or purple pen for grading in class or underlining important elements in
note taking (if in case the teacher don’t have one).
§ Highlighters for emphasizing important text
§ A planner to help keep you organized - the most successful students are
organized.

4. Follow directions/ instructions when given

· When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused
or have questions, ask. I would rather have you stop class to clarify than be off task
while everyone else is working.

5. Pay attention, participate and ask questions

· Engage in what is going on in the classroom. If you have a question, ask it! Otherwise, I
might not know until the test that you did not understand something. There are no stupid
questions, and chances are, if you are wondering about it, someone else in the class is
 to. Be proactive about your learning and don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you feel most
comfortable waiting until after class, that is okay, too, but do keep communication open
between us.

6. Preserve a positive learning environment

· Student actions that interfere with teaching or learning in the classroom will NOT be
tolerated.
· Use class time to learn the class lessons of the subject. Please do not spend your time
grooming, sleeping, talking, writing notes, playing cards, listening to your phones, I-pod,
text-messaging friends, or doing work for other classes.

classroom during the hour.

7. Maintain Proper Hygiene at all times

· Be mindful of proper hygiene especially when inside the campus. Come to class bathed
and properly groomed.

blame someone else.
