Classroom+Procedures

1. **When Entering the Classroom**- Enter quietly. Pick up papers. Be seated.

2. **Beginning of Class** – Complete Smart Start. Copy the day’s homework into the Blackmon Road Agenda book. Then take out any classwork or homework due today.

3. **When the Teacher Wants Your Attention** - The teacher will raise her hand and/or ring a bell. Freeze. Turn to teacher. Be quiet and listen!

4. **When You Need Help** - Raise your hand without talking.

5. **When Turning in Papers** – Set in the center of your groups’ table. I will call on one student collect the papers from each table to put papers in the appropriate Hand-In Box.

6. **When Working in Small Groups** - Everyone faces the group's center. Use “10 inch voices,” please! Talk only to your group. Stay on task!

7. **When You are Absent** - Check the pick-up table for missed work. Some activities or labs will require an alternate assignment or may need to be made up before/after school.

8. **When Lining Up for Points** - Put your name on your paper(s) before you line up. Line up single file. Keep your hands to yourself. Line up to the left of the counter at the front of the classroom and wait for the teacher. Sit down immediately after your points are recorded. Use “10 inch voices,” please!

9. **When You Have a Work Period** - Talk only with your Table Partner. (Don’t turn around!) Stay on task. (Don’t pack up early!). Raise your hand for help from the teacher.

10. **When You are Taking a Test** - Eyes forward at all times. Keep body “square” to table. No talking is permitted. (Even to borrow something. Ask the teacher!) Turn your Quiz over and wait quietly. Tests may be turned in when you are finished. Walk up to the teacher with questions about the test. You must be sure that nothing is showing from your notebook! Cheaters get zeros!

11. **When the Period is Over** - The teacher dismisses class! Be sure your table is in order. Quietly remain seated until the teacher dismisses the class. When you have been dismissed stand, push in chair, and quietly exit the classroom.
