Tardy Policy:  We will follow the Bunn High School tardy policy. Students are expected to be over the threshold of the classroom door before the tardy bell rings. Consequences for tardiness are outlined in the BHS Student Code of Conduct.

Behavioral Expectations:   Follow the Bunn High School Student Code of Conduct

1. Come to class on time and prepared.

Prepared means with all materials. On time means being over the threshold of the classroom door before the tardy bell rings. 

2.  Be Respectful.

Respect the comments, questions, and ideas of others.  I will not tolerate rudeness nor insensitivity.

3. Listen to instruction.

When a teacher is talking, you should be listening.  Listening helps you learn!

4. Have a positive attitude.

Having a bad attitude is disrespectful.  Keep an open mind during class activities!

5.Remember the Golden Rule, and be kind to one another.

Treat others the way that you want to be treated.  

Procedures:

1. Entering the classroom-Go directly to your seat, take out your materials, and begin the warm-up.
2. Announcements-Students are to remain seated and listen quietly to all announcements until they are finished.
3. Pledge of Allegiance-I require all students to respect the rights of those students who participate in saying the Pledge of Allegiance by being still and quiet. 
4. Bathroom – Students are urged to use the bathroom during class transition times. I will give students 5 bathroom passes to be used during the semester. You will not be permitted to use the bathroom without your pass.
5. Being recognized – If you need to move from your seat or respond during a class discussion, please raise your hand. I will call on you, but please be patient.
6. Packing up – Most days, I will allow you two minutes to pack up your things. Do not begin putting away your things until I tell you to do so. Please remain seated until I give you permission to leave.

7. Signing in and out – If you need to leave the room for any reason, you must sign the log near the classroom door. Indicate the destination and the time you leave and return.
