Ms. T's Classroom Expectation Review

If you've been absent, you must...

• Check Schoology first to look through the week's plans and resources.

• Come ask me, especially right at the beginning of class.

• Check Powerschool to see if you have any missing grades from that day.

• You're excused from that day's assignment/lesson.

The best thing to do when you are absent is:

• Send Ms. T an email to give a heads up. Check Schoology in the meantime.

• Have your parent email me to collect your work for the day.

• Check what we did with friends once we get back.

• Trust that I will come find you when you get back to catch you up. No worries right now.

When you come into the room:

• You have five minutes to settle down with friends.

• Check the board and immediately see what materials are needed, write down agenda msg, and begin warm-up.

• Ask to go to the bathroom.

• Sit down and wait to be told what to do.

You KNOW you don't wait to work on something because you don't have a pen or pencil. Instead,

• ask a friend for one.

• at the beginning of class, go to the pencil/pen jars and get one (return after class).

• go to your locker and hold your breath to see if you have one there.

• use this as a reason to excuse yourself from work today.

If I know I'm struggling to get something turned in on time because of life demands...

• I let Ms. T know AHEAD of time and we decide on a new due date.

• Take the late points off...better late than never.

• Some busy schedules mean assignments will be excused.

• One zero won't ultimately hurt my average too badly.

What is the late work policy? (pick two)

• Points off...plenty of time is provided in class and no assignment is due the same day it's assigned.

• No late work accepted.

• No late work accepted after the unit or term is over.

• Excused with doctor's note.

What is one of Ms. T's biggest pet peeves?

• Your trash left in the room or unwillingness to pick up someone else's.

• When students don't have a pencil. Be prepared, people!

• When you ask me to go to the bathroom. Why not in another class?

• When you don't do well on an assignment. Come on! We learned this!

I wished I made a better grade on something. I should...

• Look for extra credit opportunities.

• Look at feedback or get more feedback, improve the work, and let Ms. T know.

• Study more and harder next time. Come to tutoring.

• Have brought Ms. T a Starbucks giftcard to go with it.

Plagiarism is when you use ANY content as your answer that you DID NOT PERSONALLY WRITE. This includes rewording. At CMS, this results in:

• ISS, call home, and a zero. You will have to redo the assignment anyway.

• A warning. It's highly discouraged.

• Ok in some circumstances, but just try to reword it enough.

• A crime.

If you are caught on websites you aren't supposed to be on, even if ahead,

• Warning. Redirection

• As long as you're caught up, it's ok.

• Infraction and call home.
