• You may not obtain a hall pass unless you leave your phone in the classroom.

• No student may receive a hall pass during the first and last 10 minutes of a class period (10/10 Rule).

• When you get permission to go to the restroom, you must use the restroom closest to your classroom.
• Help to keep the lunch room and Scholar Center clean. Place your trash in the trash can and push your chair up to the table.

Communication between school and home is essential to student success. We encourage teachers to make those positive initial phone calls home. The upcoming Directed Instruction Day on August 30th would be a great time to get those phone calls made!

Please document your communication with parents and guardians. If you do not have a contact log, you can use the sample found HERE to get you started.
