CLASSROOM BEHAVIORAL POLICY
We will revisit classroom rules, procedures and expectations of students for the Spring semester.
At this point of the school year, there is a NO TOLERANCE POLICY in my classroom where behavior is
concerned. I will not tolerate any student that disrupts the learning environment for others. I will not give
any warnings. ALL students know the expectations by now. If that student is unable to comply with the
behavioral expectations set forth in the classroom, there will be IMMEDIATE communication with the
parent/guardian. I will not give warnings or reminders about student behavioral expectations.
Any disruptions during class time will be dealt with accordingly. Students are aware of expectations and
they will be subjected to the campus/grade-level rules.
ALL students know the expectations for behavior, class assignments, and homework assignments. Any
work not turned in on the due date will result in a grade of a zero (0).
