Mrs. Hapgood’s Classroom Expectations
· Be prompt! Please be in your seat when the bell rings so class may begin right away. I do keep track of tardies and will write referrals to Mr. Hurley if necessary.
· Silence the electronics in class! Phones and electronic devices may be used only during passing periods and lunchtime. Phones that ring in class will be taken away for the block.
· Be prepared! Bring all required materials to class each day: binder, paper, writing utensils and books.
· Be polite and positive! Please respect yourself, each other, the instructor and the classroom. Use respectful language and actions during class.
· Be productive! When given time in class to do assignments, use the time! Do your homework , finish work in a timely fashion and pass this course!
· Listen! I give very thorough instructions for all activities in class—and I never mind explaining assignments in more detail. However, I appreciate open ears and closed mouths when I am speaking!
· Avoid consequences! Follow the above expectations and you will have great success in class. However, if necessary, I will issue warnings, call parents, write referrals to Mr. Hurley and request student-teacher-parent-principal conferences.
· Talk to Mrs Hapgood! I love teaching and want all of my students to find success in English class. If you are confused, concerned, upset, frustrated, overwhelmed or joyous …whatever your mood….come talk with me!
