Mr. Saunders’ Class Rules
(THE CLASS MARK)
• I have very high expectations regarding your
classroom behavior, and I use a class mark
system that helps maintain an excellent
learning environment for all students during
class time.
• At the beginning of the term, you are given 10
points; it is up to you to keep them. Marks will be
deducted each time I am forced to respond to
your behavior with regard to the following:
• Be in your seat when the bell rings.
• Follow directions the first time they are given.
• Raise your hand and wait until you are recognized before speaking.
• Stay in your assigned seat unless otherwise stated.
• No cursing or vulgar or offensive language.
• Keep your desk and surrounding area clean.
• Come to class with all books and necessary materials.
• No personal grooming in class.
• Respect others by not talking when the teacher or other students are
talking.
• No FOOD passes the classroom door. Drinks may enter.
• No music playing devices during instruction, discussion or lessons.
They stay away until you have received permission to use them.
• Listen QUIETLY to announcements and room calls ( Oh Canada)
• No E-Mail, messaging or unwarranted www surfing during class
• Beginning of Class – Take seat quietly…Do NOT turn on computers
or login until instructed to do so.
• Do not shut down early and line up at the door until instructed to do
so…Please remain in seats and working until then.
• End of Class – Log Off computers, turn monitors off and place
mouse up-side-down so the roller-ball is showing.
• If you miss a day you are still responsible for catching up and having
all assignments, notes, etc accounted for in your portfolio.
Students who help me maintain a comfortable, productive learning
environment earn higher term marks than those who do not.
