What are the class rules?

1. Watch your mouth - Students will exhibit courtesy toward all other 
students, teachers, and visitors to our classroom at all times. Listen when 
others are talking. Work quietly and do not disturb others. Do not say "shut-
up" as this phrase has no place in school. Hateful comments concerning race, 
ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political views, appearance, or of any other 
type will not be tolerated; this applies to serious as well as "joking" 
comments.
2. Keep your hands to yourself - Physical contact of any kind is not 
permitted. Violation of this simple rule will be punished by the most severe 
consequences possible. Show respect for our school property as well as 
personal property. 
3. Stay in your seat - Do not walk around during class unless directed to do 
so. Have everything you need ready before class begins.
4. Leave the food at home (with the exception of bottled water) - Students 
may not eat or drink in the classroom (unless medically necessary). This 
includes gum and candy. Exceptions are closable containers of water or 
treats provided by Mrs. Faircloth. All trash should be collected and 
disposed of at the end of class.
5. I need to see your eyes - Students may not sleep in class. To prevent 
this, students' eyes must be open and visible to the teacher at all times.
6. Nothing goes airborn - Nothing will go airborn in class at any time. This 
includes pens, papers, books, trash, and other students. 
7. Be productive - Follow directions; stay on task; complete assignments and 
homework on time; correct your mistakes; produce original work.
8. Be prompt - Be in your seat when the tardy bell rings, with your supplies 
present, and ready to work. Your binder, homework, writing utensil, book, 
and other necessary materials should be out and ready. 
9. Be positive - Come to class with a positive attitude. Do not put down 
yourself (or others) or your abilities. Mentally encourage and challenge 
yourself. 
10. Be polite - Show respect to each other and to all adults in your words 
and body language.

What happens if my cell phone rings or is out during class?

It will be taken by Mrs. Faircloth and turned into the discipline office. 
Arrangements will need to be made to collect it through one of the 
disciplinary deans.
