Cooks Policies and Procedures

CLASS EXPECTATIONS

1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others


Show respect for the teacher, yourself and others at all times.
Respect others property. Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not
belong to you (including desks, textbooks, teachers belongings, walls,
chalkboard, etc.). Don't expect that others will clean-up your messes. Please
pick-up after yourself.
Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language and wearing
appropriate clothing.
Be a kind person.

2. Put forth your best effort at all times


o Always do your own best work.
o Put learning ahead of getting good grades.
o Put quality ahead of just getting it done.

3. Be prepared for class each day


Come prepared with all materials necessary:
An organized class binder containing all necessary materials and handouts
Looseleaf paper, pens (blue or black), and pencils
A red or purple pen for grading in class or underlining important elements
in note taking
Highlighters for emphasizing important text
A planner to help keep you organized - the most successful students are
organized.
Chrome book

4. Follow directions when given


When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are
confused or have questions, ask. I would rather have you stop class to clarify
than be off task while everyone else is working.

5. Pay attention, participate and ask questions


Engage in what is going on in the classroom. If you have a question, ask
it! Otherwise, I might not know until the test that you didnt understand
something. There are no stupid questions, and chances are, if you are
wondering about it, someone else in the class is to. Be proactive about your
learning and dont be afraid to ask for help. If you feel most comfortable
waiting until after class, that is okay, too, but do keep communication open
between us.

6. Preserve a positive learning environment


Student actions that interfere with teaching or learning in the classroom will
NOT be tolerated.
Use class time to learn. Please do not spend your time grooming, sleeping,
talking, writing notes, playing cards, listening to music, text-messaging friends,
or doing work for other classes.
Minimize classroom interruptions by arriving to class on time and not leaving
the classroom during the hour.

7. Take responsibility for your actions


If you are confronted about a rule infraction, own up to it. Dont deny it, lie
about it, or blame someone else.
Take responsibility for missed assignments.
All handbook rules will be enforced. Please read your handbook. Students that
choose to break these rules, choose to have points taken away from their
learning readiness grade, and face the possibility of additional consequences.

CLASS PROCEDURES

1. Turn in homework to the proper bin


o Homework is due at the beginning of class. Work that is not turned in at the
beginning of class will be considered late and will receive half credit. Turn in
your homework to your class bin. Turn absent/late work into the absent/late
work bin.

2. Pick up after yourself before you leave


o Take all of your belongings, pick up any scrap papers around you, and put your
desk back in line before you leave each day.

3. Get missed work from absent folder, talk to a classmate, then ask the teacher
Attendance is essential for optimal learning. Being on time and present and
class physically and mentally will be part of your overall grade. You may not be
excused from my class by another teacher without first seeking my permission.
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to obtain any missed
classwork. Begin by looking for missed handouts in the ABSENT folder
pertaining to your class. Then ask another student. Follow-up with the teacher
if necessary.
Make arrangements to take quizzes and tests immediately. It is your
responsibility to make these arrangements, I will not and cannot track you
down. If you do not make-up quizzes in a timely manner (before graded
quizzes are returned to the students who were present), you will earn a zero
on the quiz or test.
UNEXCUSED absences on the day of an assignment, test, quiz, project,
presentation, paper, etc. will result in a zero.
6. Follow protocol for study center use
If you have a resource room teacher and need to take test in another setting,
please remind me the day prior to the test so that I can get your test to your
resource room teacher ahead of time.

CLASS CONSEQUENCES

1. Verbal warning

2. Call home

3. Detention/Referral to assistant principal

* Serious offenses can, at the teachers discretion, result in more severe consequences regardless of
previous steps taken. Any infraction of the rules may affect your learning readiness grade. It can also be
cause for further action at the teachers discretion.
