A. Appropriate behavior:
· Students are responsible for knowing that school-wide expectations include arriving at school after 7:30 a.m. and going directly to breakfast or to classroom area to wait for the first bell.
· Appropriate behavior is expected from students as they wait in the hallways prior to the beginning of the school day. They are expected to sit along the wall outside their classroom. Book bags and lunch boxes are to be kept at their sides or in their laps. Feet and legs are to be kept out of the walkways. Once a student arrives on his/her hallway, there will be no traveling to other parts of campus unless he/she is on an errand and has a written pass from a specific teacher. Students in the hallways should be prepared to sit quietly and follow the directions of the staff member on duty.
· In some instances additional grade level rules and expectations will be in place. For example: fifth grade students may be expected to use that morning time to do silent reading; third grade students may be expected to use that time to make up missed assignments or read quietly.
· Students will be made aware of additional rules specific to their hallways and areas.
