Rules+and+Consequences

=Classroom Rules=

A learning environment can only be affective when everyone follows the rules. These rules will be posted on the classroom wall in addition to being available online here. We will spend about two half periods going over these rules and consequences. We will continue to review your role as a student in the classroom over the rest of the semester as the need arises. We will participate in short memorization exercises to ensure everyone is familiar with the rules and consequences.
 * __Arrive__ on time with your required materials.
 * __Always__ respect your teacher and peers.
 * __Always__ raise your hand to ask a question.
 * __Be__ courteous in dealing with others.
 * __Behave__ in a way that reflects your age.
 * __Bring__ in homework assignments every time they are due.

==**Cooperative Learning Rules** ==  When you engage in cooperative learning, it is important to be considerate of others. In a subject that involves a high level of discussion, such as this history course, you must respect your peers. The rules are as follows:


 * Respect the opinions of others.
 * Be polite and talk quietly.
 * Listen to and follow directions carefully.

Consequences: You will receive immediate disciplinary action for an infraction. As a high school student, I expect you to behave in a manner that reflects your age.

 * For every infraction, you will receive one demerit in accordance to the school discipline program found in the student handbook.
 * After ten demerits you will be sent to the principle.
