Classroom Procedures:
Mr. Cronk

The beginning of class:
• You should have your planner EVERY DAY.
• Get your planner out and copy down the class work and homework for the day.
• Begin Warm-up activity.
• Check the board for further instructions.

Procedure for passing in assignments:
• Pass the papers to your left.
• The student sitting farthest to the left will put the stack in the appropriate tray.

If you finish an in-class assignment early:
• Begin homework assignment.

During Tests:
• Absolutely no talking will be permitted during a test. A zero will be given to any student talking while tests are out. Any form of cheating will result in YOU calling your parents during my planning period to explain what happened.
• Turn your paper over when you are finished. You may draw on the back or read in your books.

If you are absent:
• It is your responsibility to check the Assignment Log when you have been absent. And then check the assignment folders on the counter.
• Any tests you missed must be made up the day you return. You will have 2 days for each day absent to turn in all other assignments before they are counted late.
• Label any make-up work and put it in the “Absent Work” box when completed.

If you have Late Work:
• To receive full credit, your assignments must be turned in the day they are due.
• Late work will be reduced by one letter grade for each day late, and will not be accepted after the 3rd day.

If you need an extra copy of any paper handed out in class:
• Check in the assignment file.






Door:
• For your safety, the only person to open the door during class will be your teacher, or teacher’s designee.
• If someone knocks, the teacher (not the student) will respond to them.

Lockers:
• You may go to your locker BETWEEN classes at any time, as long as you are on time to your next class.

Leaving the classroom:
• You will not be allowed to leave the classroom for a drink, bathroom, or locker.
• You should make use of the 5-minute change in classes to get a drink or use the restroom.
• You may keep a bottle of water at your desk as long as it has a cap. Keep closed when you are not drinking.
• NO FOOD OR DRINK IN CLASSROOMS OTHER THAN WATER. THIS IS SCHOOL WIDE POLICY!

If you have to use the restroom before class starts:
• Sign your name before entering restroom.
• Knock before entering.
• Check for cleanliness!
• Check facilities for cleanliness; clean up any mess.

Be prepared for class:
• Students should make sure they are prepared for class BEFORE class starts. (You should have: planner, text books, notebook, writing utensil, paper and your assignments.)
• I have a lost & found bin, for the occasional mishap.
• You will not be allowed to go to your locker during class time.

If the teacher needs your attention:
• I will ask you to Give Me Five
(Eyes on Speaker, Lips Closed, Ears Listening, Sit up Straight and Hands and Feet Quiet.)

If the telephone rings:
• Please do not answer the phone/ intercom.
• Be SILENT

Dismissal:

• Sit at your assigned desk, and clean up any mess.
• Put away all textbooks, push your chair underneath the desk.
• Students are not dismissed until all classroom calculators are returned to their proper place.
• The teacher dismisses you, NOT THE BELL & NOT THE AFTERNOON ANNOUNCEMENTS.
• Exit the room quietly and calmly.
• At the end of the day, put your chair on top of your desk when instructed.
