Class Rules for Ms.
LuttrellŐs Classes |
|
In order to have a
successful learning experience, students must follow these procedures in my
classroom: |
|
1.
Enter the room
quietly with all necessary materials. 2. Be seated. If you must get up raise your hand for
permission. 3. Respect others by remaining quiet and in your seat. 4. Respect your teacher by listening and following
directions. 5. Respect yourself by assuming responsibility for your work
and conduct. 6. Leave the room as you found it. 7. No candy, gum, etc. |

Assignments |
|
If a
student is absent, assignments and tests must be made up within number of
days the student was absent. Example: If the student was absent for three (3)
days, s/he has three days to make up those assignments and/or tests. |
