I want to post for you a reminder that students are expected to come to class on time and prepared to work every day. This means that they have with them their planner, their binder for language arts, their pencil pouch/writing implements and their SSR book. None of these items are optional; all of them should be brought to class everyday.

If a student comes to class unprepared and has to ask to go back to their locker for any of these materials, they will be marked tardy, if they cannot make it back to the classroom before the designated start time**.

Three tardies in one class, within a card-marking, will result in a detention being assigned.

As my students are in 8th grade, they should all be able to navigate the building and plan accordingly on how to manage their time (ex: if one student can make it to my classroom from the other side of the building, then so should they all).

Please contact me with any questions that you have about this policy.

**Extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration.
