Classroom Rules

Rules are designed to provide a safe learning environment. All school rules and policies found in the student/parent handbook will be followed in the classroom. some highlights:

1.     Be respectful of one another. The number one sign of showing someone respect is to listen and give them your attention while they are talking. that means do not talk while they are talking. 

2.   Be on time and in your seat before the bell rings. There will be a "Do Now" that you will begin working on as soon as class starts.

3.     Come to class prepared.

4.     The bell does not end class - Mrs. Petric does! Do not pack up until instructed to do so.

5.     Absolutely no food or drink (except water bottles) is allowed in the classroom. Hats, cell phones, iPods, etc are not allowed either (as per school policies).

6.     Bags of any sort are not allowed on top of your desk during class.

Please come to me with any problems/concerns as soon as possible. From time to time, some students experience circumstances that create a problem in completion of assignments (e.g. family illness, special occasions, etc.). Please let me know if you are experiencing such circumstances so that arrangements can be made. These situations are best discussed privately.

Missing Work

Every attempt should be made to be in class each day. However, there will be times when you will miss class(es). With that in mind, here are the procedures and guidelines you should follow if in the event you are absent.

It is your responsibility to make up any missed assignments on your own - I will gladly help you as much as you need, but only if you meet me halfway by following these guidelines:

1.      Obtain a copy of the notes from class. It is fine to photocopy notes and put them in your binder.

2.      Attempt the homework problems.

3.     Come for extra help if you have any questions about the material or need extra help. You must have attempted problems with you. I will be happy to answer specific questions.
