Classroom Procedures

Classroom procedures are for your benefit.  The following procedures will help you do your work with less confusion and help you to succeed!

Entering the classroom – Quietly walk into the classroom and get out your materials and begin working on assignment or project.

Leaving the classroom – Restroom, office, locker – do ALL before class starts, affects your weekly progress.  If it is absolutely necessary – fill out pass sign-out sheet. 

End of the period – Put away all materials and projects, clean work area, and sit in your seat for the bell.

Clean-Up – Art is messy, so we all must work together to keep the classroom as a workable space.  You will have to clean up after yourself!

• Clean sinks and counters
• All supplies put away in appropriate places
• Pick up trash on floor
• All stools are push in
• Tables are spotless and washed off

Attention – I have a procedure when I want your undivided attention.  You will here me ask for your attention and at that time, I need you to:

• Put your materials down
• Be still
• Look at me
• Listen
• Be quiet

Asking a question – Ask 3 before me!

Storage closet – Off limits, no exceptions!

Computers – Project, sketchbook, classroom research ONLY!  When you find information needed, copy and paste to a Word document to save printing ink, time, and paper.  You must ask permission and get approval first to print!  You will lose your computer privileges if you are emailing or not using the computer for classroom purposes.  Everyone intending on using the internet MUST fill out an Internet Permission Slip – ask the librarian for one.

Borrowing pencils, pens, erasers, or checking out materials – Trade me something of yours for a pencil or eraser.  You may check out any other supply or book – simply write your name, material, and date on check-out form.  Remember – if you forget to bring a pencil, you will be deducted 1 point per day on your weekly progress grade!

Turning in papers, sketchbooks, etc. – Name on everything!  Sketchbooks, assignments, etc. – write name, date, and number/title of sketch on bottom right hand corner of paper and turn into appropriate paper tray.

Recycling – Please recycle ALL appropriate items: copy or drawing paper, envelopes, magazines, newspaper INSERTS.  Do not recycle: construction paper, bright papers, any paper with paint or glue, napkins, trash of any sort.
