attend classes.Read the whiteboard (outside classroom door) to arrive prepared.

Use this time to also go to locker and put away your coats, backpacks, meet and greet your friends, go to the library, take care of business with Mrs.

Assigned Classroom Seating

While we are adjusting to our new schedule of arrival and preparedness, I will implement assigned

classroom seating for students.

Your ability to positively manage your behavior, avoid disrupting other students learning,

and/or Mrs. Jackson, will determine your ability to opt for student choice in seating arrangements.

Restroom Privilege’s during our Core Period

You may access the restroom after the first 30 minutes of attending class, but not 30 minutes before departing for the day.

In order to access your restroom privilege, fill out YOUR agenda to go accordingly.

Student System/Business Files

Mrs. Jackson has set up and made available to each student a cabinet and filing system.

Each student has a “While I Was Gone…” file. A team of students have volunteered to take attendance and put within this file any handouts or student work returned. Please look within for any work, assignments, reports, etc.

This file should also maintain your annual student portfolio, any extra paper, pencils/pens, novel (if space permits or place on classroom library shelf), or any materials that you wish to maintain in the classroom.
