  16. Going to the bathroom/nurse • Go to the bathroom BEFORE class. If it is an emergency then you may ask to go…but I usually say NO anyway  • If you need to go to the nurse let me know and I will usually (as long as you have a good reason to go) give you a pass

  17. Sharpening Procedures 1. If Mr. Archer is teaching, DO NOT go 2. If someone is already there, DO NOT go 3. If 1 and 2 are clear, then GO

  18. Absences • Go to the school website > faculty > Archer > calendar/homework link • Look on the calendar page to see what we did the day you were absent. • Get any worksheets or notes that you missed (From Mr. Archer or the website) • Don’t forget to get the SQR also!

  19. What’s my grade? • Your grade is at www.snapgrades.net • If you have any questions, ask Mr. Archer before class, after class, during lunch, before school, or after school. • You should check your grade often! At least once a week • It is your responsibility to make sure your grade is correct

  20. A few other things… • When using a ruler or meter stick, follow the “Ruler Rule.” You may only measure or draw straight lines with a ruler or meter stick. Students may lose their ruler privileges if the “ruler rule” is broken. • If you have an inappropriate item out in class, (tech deck, cell phone, iPod, etc.) it will be taken away…and tech decks will not be returned!

  21. Last rule for today… • If anyone allows anything to leave their hand and go into the air for any amount of time then they volunteer for one week (5 days) of trash pick-up. If anyone laughs at, picks on or in any way makes fun of a volunteer, then they also have volunteered for one week (5 days) of floor pick-up. If any volunteer accumulates a total of four consecutive weeks – they have volunteered for floor pick-up for life!
