Class Rules & Procedures:

Do this by:

§         Talking when it is your turn and at appropriate times.  If in doubt, don’t talk.

§         Being on time to class.  When the bell rings, you should be writing in your agenda.

§         Bringing binder, agenda, and pen or pen to class every day.

§         Keeping your hands to yourself and on your own stuff at all times.

§         Sitting in your assigned seat.

§         Taking care of class equipment and supplies.  Be prepared to replace or repair equipment you break by misuse or abuse.

§         Following the MNMS handbook rules.

 

 

      Consequences for poor behavior choices:  pink slips (3 pink slips = detention), discipline report, office referral, detention, &/or other measures in which your parents, principals, & I agree.

 

 

 

 

Grading:

Grading for the Skills For Living class is calculated on total points.  The district grading scale as noted in the handbook will apply. 

 

 

 

Class Supplies:

·        Binder, paper, pen or pencil, and agenda should be brought to class each day.  Label a divider, “Skills For Living” in the binder you are using for your core classes.  Students will not be checked out a book for this class, therefore papers to be used to study for tests &/or quizzes will be kept in their binder.   (A binder grade will be taken on Wednesday, August 27.  A 100% will be recorded for having a labeled divider, paper, pen or pencil and agenda.  10% off each day late on the binder grade.)

·        Donations of the any of the following extra items families may have would be greatly appreciated: copy paper, spools of thread, Kleenex, nail polish, baby oil.
