Classroom Procedures

1
Classroom Procedures

• The following procedures are in place so I know
  how to act and what I should be doing at all
  times. Mr. Pacak expects me to follow these
  procedures. Privileges (like labs) will be taken
  away and consequences (like detention) will be
  assigned if procedures are not followed properly.

2
How do I enter class?

• I will enter class quietly and calmly. I will sit
  in my assigned seat. I must be in my seat when
  the tardy bell rings or I will be marked tardy.
  I will get out my needed materials and put my
  backpack and other items under the table (not in
  the aisles).

3
What do I do now?

• I will take out any homework that is due today.
• I will write todays assignments in my planner.
• I will copy the learning goal in my log
• I will begin my Bellwork.
• Remember, this is silent time!

4
How do I complete Bellwork?

• Each day when I enter class there will be a
  bellwork question on the board. On my notebook
  paper, I will write down the date, bellwork
  number, and copy the question, and write the
  answer. I can use my notes or book to answer.
  Mr. Pacak will always go over the answer with me,
  so I will be sure mine is correct. Bellwork is
  SILENT time. Mr. Pacak uses test questions for
  bellwork, so they are a great study tool.

5
Teachers procedure for getting the attention of
the class.

• Most often when I want your attention I will ring
  the bell on my desk. Other times I may count
  backwards on my fingers. Please count with me
  using an inside voice to get the attention of the
  class, when my fist is closed, so is your mouth.
• Listen carefully and wait until I am finished to
  carry out instructions or ask questions.
• I will not shout over you, if you do not become
  quiet (as a class) you are using my time and will
  pay it back to me.

6
What do I do when I need to carry out a necessary
chore?

• Necessary chores are things like getting items
  out of backpacks or purses, sharpening pencils,
  hole punching, getting a drink of water, etc. I
  will complete all necessary chores before the
  bell rings. Once the tardy bell has rung, it is
  class time. I will ask Mr. Pacak if I need to
  leave my seat during class.

7
Which class supplies may I Use?

• I may only use the stapler, tape and hole punch
  on the black, side, counter.
• Materials on Mr. Pacaks desk or front demo table
  ARE NOT for me to use or touch without
  permission.
• If I need to borrow anything, I will need a
  student ID card, and I must ask before class.

8
What do I do if I need to leave the classroom?

• I have a four-minute passing period and a 10
  minute break, I need to use them wisely.
  Restroom visits are for emergencies only, and
  time out of class will be owed back to Mr. Pacak
  at the end of class, or during break.
• Tardies may be assigned if privileges are abused

9
What do I do if I finish my work early?

• First, I will review my work for accuracy and
  completeness. Then I may begin homework, study
  vocabulary, read, or work on assignments from
  another class. I will not disrupt other people
  and interfere with their learning environment.

10
How do I keep my science log?

• My science log is my key to success. Everything I
  do will go in my science log and be worth points
  at the end of the chapter. This is where I
  should go to review and study for tests.
• My science log counts for a grade a really easy
  grade. I will keep it up-to-date, neat, and
  organized.

11
How do we do a log check?

• At the end of the chapter I will have my log
  checked. I will always be sure all of my work in
  my log is completed and in order! Mr. Pacak will
  call me up to his desk and he will go through it
  with me. I will know when I leave his desk what
  I scored.

12
What do I do when the bell rings at the end of
the period?

• The bell does not dismiss me, Mr. Pacak does. I
  will wait quietly and stay seated until Mr. Pacak
  dismisses me. We will wait until everyone is
  quiet. When dismissed, I will push in my chair
  and exit quietly.

13
What do I do when I am absent?

• The day I am absent I can call a friend or check
  Mr. Pacaks website. When I return to school I
  must check the Daily Assignment log. This is
  my responsibility. I must get any missed
  Bellwork entries, turn in any assignments and
  make up any missed work.
• Mr. Pacak WILL NOT chase me down to complete
  this. The only thing I cannot make up in this
  class are labs, I must make everything else up.

14
Please respect the learning environment.

• I will be sure to clean up after each class
  period, put all trash in TRASH CANS and help
  keep our room neat. I will appreciate and
  respect the classroom and equipment.
