• You are expected to be in your assigned seat and ready to begin class when the bell rings.  You are also expected to remain in your seat unless you have permission to leave it; wandering around the room during the lesson is not permitted.
• You are expected to check the assignment board each day and record the assignment in your Agenda.
• Food, candy, drinks are not allowed in the classroom at any time.  Water bottles are allowed only if the school nurse specifies a medical reason for them.  You may chew gum only if it is not seen or heard; if it is you will be asked to throw it away.
• Walkmans, computer games, cell phones, toys, etc. are not allowed in the classroom at any time.  If you bring them, you run the risk of losing them.
• You may leave the room with permission only.  Interruptions should occur at the beginning or end of the period or during "down time" when the lesson will not be interrupted (unless it is an emergency.)  Sign-out sheet must be filled out completely before leaving the room.
• You are not to speak when another person is speaking.  This includes the teacher, other students, and announcements over the PA system or KTV.  You are expected to raise you hand before speaking; shouting out is not permitted.
• Hats, bandannas, tiaras, crowns, sunglasses, slippers, pajamas, bare feet are not permitted in the classroom at any time.  You are expected to adhere to the school dress code (no underwear showing, no bra straps showing, no bare midriff - shirts must meet pants) at all times.
• These expectations apply to classes when a substitute is present as well.  Non-cooperative students whose names are left by a sub will serve a detention with Ms. Valente and write a note of apology to the sub.  If a student's name is left a second time it will result in a discipline referral to the office.  Subs also have the option to write an immediate referral for conduct which they consider serious enough to be handled by the office at the time of the incident.
