Other Procedures/Policies
Excuse Cards
- If you need to borrow a pair of earbuds, need to charge your laptop, or need to borrow other materials, you will have to fill out an excuse card. You will also earn an excuse card if you forget to submit a pass slip.
- Every 5 excuse cards earns you an after-school detention (30 min). This does not reset at the end of the semester!
- COVID Policy: Students will be able to carry book bags to classes in order to have access to all their school materials (laptop and other supplies) as well as personal care items (extra masks, sanitizer, etc.)
- Any bags/cases brought to class cannot be hung on your chair. They may stay on the top of your table or stashed under the table (not in an area where people are walking).

Other questions ...
Where can you find these things?
COVID Policy: Any supplies borrowed from the teacher must be sanitized after each use. You should bring your own materials if possible to avoid having to use shared supplies.
Where can you find these things?
- Supply Zone - Look by the double windows for scissors, glue, colored pencils, staplers, tape, Pencil Pot, permanent markers, rulers, calculators, etc.
- Prize Zone - Candy and other prizes are in the top two drawers of the black filing cabinet. You'll also find earbuds* and excuse cards on the sides of the cabinet.
- STEAM Zone - Look in the northeast corner (by the big white goggles cabinet) for STEAM-related kits and activities. These are available for use with your teacher's permission.
- Charging Station - Check out the computer table by the bulletin boards for extra chargers. Remember, you have to use a pass slip or excuse card if you need to borrow* one from me.
- Generic Kleenex - Look behind the paper towel dispenser near the classroom door; hint: it is disguised as a roll of toilet paper. If we have boxes of tissues, they will be in that area as well.
