Please familiarize yourself with these rules for everyone’s benefit.
Please also read the course syllabus and the AGENDA on the website for additional rules and information.
Class Expectations: • If you do not have your textbook, workbook, dictionary, paper, pen, pencil and eraser with you in class, you are NOT ready to learn and participate. Please make sure to come prepared for all classes. • Have a separate binder for Ms. Teleky’s subject and make sure you have dividers for the sections (eg. grammar/ writing/vocabulary) to keep your binder neat. There will be routine binder checks that will count towards your mark. • Your papers should be dated and placed in order neatly in your binder.
• DO NOT close books; put away anything into your bag before the bell. Ms. Teleky dismisses you, not the bell. Otherwise, you may be asked to stay after class to straighten out the room or to come back at lunch time or to stay in tutorial.
• You may NOT change your seating without talking to Ms. Teleky. Please be courteous and greet your teacher and classmates upon entering and leaving the room.
• Respect towards your teacher and classmates is essential in the classroom. Racism and discrimination will not be tolerated.
• Do not interrupt others while speaking and always put your hand up if you have questions or concerns.
Assignments:
Assignments/ tests/quizzes will only be accepted if they are written in black or blue ink or with a pencil. No assignments will be marked if written in any other colour.
No ripped and crumpled up papers will be accepted and marked. Neat, legible work is essential.
Be ready to learn when the bell goes. This means books, notebooks should be open and pens/ pencils ready to begin class.
If you misplace a handout, you will need to pay 25 cents for a new copy.
Assignments are ALWAYS due at the beginning of each class.
Plagiarism and cheating is a serious offence and will be dealt with
