QuestionsBefore asking Mrs. Loomis a question, think about
the following:
1. Has she already given us this information?2. Did I ask people at my group during an appropriate
time?3. Did I ask three people before I asked her?
BathroomYou may use the bathroom at anytime during the day except:
• The first 30 minutes we have returned to our classroom (i.e. lunch, break, library, etc.)
• During a drill (fire, earthquake, etc.)• While I am instructing, unless it’s an emergency• Just hold up the “R” sign language sign – I’ll nod my head
P.E. or Break• P.E. = the p.e. monitors will be in charge of taking out, setting up and
cleaning up all equipment• Students will be dismissed by either Mrs. Loomis or the back line
leader• After p.e., students will have 3 minutes to use the restroom and get
water. Students must be back to the classroom, ready to work in this time period
• Break = the p.e. monitors will take out Mrs. Loomis’ two break buckets
• Please return all equipment to the buckets when the whistle is blown• P.E. monitors will bring buckets into class
Snacks and Drinks• All healthy snacks are permitted to be eaten during break
not during instruction. • Water is the only acceptable drink for the classroom.• If your water bottle is empty, please fill it up when I am
not instructing and NOT after coming in from break.• You may drink from the water fountain during times
when I am not directly teaching the class.
Homework• All work must be completed neatly and turned in on time.• Assignments not completed on time will be dropped one
letter grade. You will have 1 day to turn in a late assignment. It will be 1 grade lowered.
• Homework will be assigned every night and should take about 60 minutes.
• If homework is not completed, you must inform Mrs. Loomis, bring her your behavior card to sign and fill out the form in the “No Homework” binder.
Behavior Cards• First signing in a week = warning• Second signing in a week = email home• Third signing in a week = lunch detention• Fourth signing in a week = parent/student/teacher
conference• Loosing one’s behavior card = detention• Too many detentions = loss of mini society money,
field trips or end of the year activities
Absent Work• Absent work will be collected by the Absent Work
Collector the day you are gone.• The day you return, you must see the Absent Work
Collector to discuss the lessons/activities/homework you missed. The paperwork you need will be in your absent folder.
• You have two days from the day you return to complete the work you missed. It must be turned in to the absent work basket on my desk with the absent form stapled to the top. You are expected to complete all current assignments on time as well. No exceptions.
Things To Remember• Chairs must remain flat on the floor• You must clean up after yourself• Always ask permission before borrowing something• No writing and/or sending notes in class(EVER!)• No pencil sharpening while Ms. L is instructing.• All assignments must have your name, date, number and assignment
or they will not be accepted• All writing must be neat, or I will have you redo the assignment• No bullying is ever allowed. Zero tolerance.• You are never completely finished, either check your work or read
quietly
