Your Class Teacher





Hello, bilingual students:

My name is Fernando Gonzalez. I'll be the coordinator of this bilingual section in our secondary school as well as your teacher of English. I want the beginning of this course to start plenty of good wishes to work and eager to learn. Improve and show what you are.

You are very lucky to be the first bilingual students of this school. I think you are because we -and the rest of people here(staff, teachers and assistants) are going to do our best to help you improve your English, willing you to be competent in your subjects and, for sure, your families are going to give you a hand when needed. Our commitment is that when you come out of this school, your English level will be best you ever had. Good luck and I wish you a wonderful course.

STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR BILINGUAL STUDENTS




CLASSROOM

The class begins when the teacher enters the classroom and closes the door. Students who come after or stay out of the classroom without the teacher’s permission will be punished with a delay-fault or absence.

The students of 1º ESO should wait for the teacher to come into their classroom. The teacher will tell them to go to another classroom, if needed.

Students should be silent, kind and respectful of the nearby classes.

TOILETS

Our rules prohibit the use of toilets between lessons, therefore it will not be accepted as a cause of justified delay

If someone needs to go to the toilet, they must wait for the teacher to get personal permission




ATTENDANCE

It is compulsory to attend lessons everyday in order to maintain ongoing evaluation. The students who failed to attend any lesson, have to hand in relevant documents signed by parents or legal guardians as soon as possible.

The teachers can check the tutor’s documents in cases of faults that are not considered acceptable, taking into account the tutor’s advice. These faults can be considered as not properly justified.




MATERIAL

You can not eat or drink when in class, except with teacher’s permission.

Students must bring material to work in class everyday: books, workbooks, notebooks, pens, or any type of stuff recommended by the teacher. The teacher will indicate in advance when it is not necessary to bring these materials.

BEVERAGES




Electronic devices

If the lesson requires the use of any type of device, the teacher will clearly indicate and authorize its use during the specific time, only for complementary activities inside the classroom. In any other situations students can’t use electronic devices for their private purposes.




Students are not allowed to use any electronic devices (mobile phones, mp3, mp4, PDA, cameras, etc.) during class, according to the general rules of the school.

ORDER and RESPECT

Students are responsible for maintaining classroom order: tables must be neat and clean, as well as the floor, before leaving the classroom. Those who spoil, graphite or throw any materials away should clean the classroom, and if damaged, replace them.

Be respectful to all members of the educational community. You must use appropriate language to talk to the teacher and your peers, in a soft tone of voice, which means not shouting.

Respect the right to speak. If you wish to speak, you must indicate it by showing up hands.







You must try to turn in all jobs and tasks asked by the teacher, and all the activities or projects of the course, on the date specified. You are expected to personally report the teacher after class if any activity hasn’t been completed.

ORDER and RESPECT




ORDER and RESPECT

Do your work either independently or in groups if required, to achieve the goals of the course.

Demonstrate maturity and responsibility according to your educational level and age.

Do your best and the most to take advantage of learning opportunities and resources that the public education system offers.




Incidents

In summary:

Be respectful, be prompt and ready to work
