Be respectful, responsible, and ready at all times. Be respectful to all students and staff in our building, including yourself. Be responsible with your belongings and actions, and be here and ready to learn every day.
Flexible Seating:
My room is full of flexible seating options. We have bean bags, yoga balls, standing options, stools, and regular chairs. This allows everyone to feel comfortable in my classroom, and allows them some freedom to choose the best place for themselves to learn. Each student has an opportunity to use all the options. If students have an issue with using these options appropriately, the privilege can be revoked.
Rules:
No food, candy, or drink. Bottled water is allowed. Gum is also allowed. **Breakfast during homeroom is an exception to this rule.**
No horseplay.
If you need something, look in the supply area first. If you still can’t find it, ask.
Please do not mess on/around my desk.
Do not touch other student’s property.
Use technology appropriately.
All school rules apply.
