A. Seating chart and attendance (Do you have a seating chart? How do you take
attendance?)
I will have a seating chart in my classroom. There will be a name tag on their
desk before the first day of school, so they will know exactly where to sit. The
name tag will stay on their desk the whole year. I will take attendance every
morning. Students will have morning work to begin completing in the morning,
so when students are working I will see the students who are not there and
quickly fill out my attendance.

Dismissal
If I am able to manage the interruption without leaving the room, I will do so. I
will invite the person into the room and face students as you talk with the visitor.
If the interruption lasts longer than a few seconds, and I must leave the room, I
will ask students to continue working if they are already involved in an activity.
If not, I will ask them to take out their library books and read quietly. I will
leave my cell phone off at all times unless I am expecting an important phone
call. If it is mandatory to answer a phone call, I will ask students to continue
working or ask them to read their library books while I take the phone call. If
we have a delay, we will continue our classroom schedule.

is a bathroom in your classroom?)

to red to let others know the bathroom is occupied.
When returning from bathroom, students will reverse the sign to green.
Students shall flush the toilets, and wash hands when they are through.
E. Bathrooms (What will be your procedure for students going to the bathroom if there

There will be a bathroom break in the morning where the whole class will go
together, and another one in the afternoon.
Students shall flush the toilets, and wash hands when they are through.
If students need to go to the bathroom during class, they may do so one at a
time when I am not giving instruction or having a group discussion.
