Class+Rules

** MS. GLADYS ** ** BIOLOGY ** I lead a respectful and disciplined classroom. To achieve this I have established a few simple policies. As a student, it is your responsibility to comply with these policies. If you decide not to comply, there will be logical consequences. By enforcing these policies, I promise to you fairness, order and a wonderful learning environment. Follow all teacher instructions and all directions in the student handbook. This is **especially important during lab activities!** Participation during class discussions and activities is essential to performing well. You may not put your head on your desk, sleep during class or opt out without a consequence. Keep your hands, feet, inappropriate and or hurtful comments to yourself. This class is a team working towards a common goal and we need to support each other. Bring all necessary materials to class and expect consequences if you don’t. Be in your seat and ready to work when the tardy bell rings. Any food or drink **EXCEPT** a water bottle with water inside will be confiscated. Punishment will always fit the crime; however, there are certain behaviors that will warrant an immediate office referral. Examples of this include gross insubordination or violent behavior (e.g. cussing at teacher). Behaviors that are less severe, but in violation of the basic rules of the class will be dealt with in the manner described below. This format is in no way inclusive and is subject to change:
