Be Prepared!

My worst pet peeve is when students say, "What do we need for class today?"  You need the SAME materials EVERY day for each of my classes.  Just to be clear, here is the list of required daily materials....

 ENGLISH
  • 3 Ring Binder with 6 divided sections labeled Journal, Literature, Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Analogies.
  • Notebook paper in each section for notes
  • Literature textbook
  • Analogies workbook
  • Vocabulary workbook
  • Grammar workbook
  • Novel (if we are currently working on one together)
BIBLE
  • Bible (ESV preferable)
  • Textbook
  • Workbook
  • Folder
  • Paper

NOTE: I prefer you to write in pen.  Always bring a pen to class.  Blue or black erasable ink is best.

Rules and Discipline

I would love to just say, "Be kind, have a good attitude, and do the assigned work to the best of your abilities."  That is all I ask!  If you need more specifics, the middle school rules are as stated below.  Hopefully the consequences will never be realized.  Thanks for abiding! -Mrs. Agate

Middle School Rules 

1.        Be on time.
2.        Follow directions quickly.
3.        Raise your hand for permission to speak.
4.        Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat.
5.        Respect others. 

Choosing to follow the rules will result in:

1.        Verbal acknowledgement

3.        A pleasant and secure atmosphere 

NOT choosing to follow the rules will result in:

1.        Warning and documentation
2.        Parental Contact/Detention (after 5 warnings or infractions; i.e.- 5 tardies)
3.        Disciplinary Referral
SEVERE CLAUSE

Any student who uses profanity, fights, damages school property (this includes the property of the teacher and other students), or is disrespectful (as defined by the teacher) will be sent to the office IMMEDIATELY.
