Corinthians 4:21 (The Message)
So
how should I prepare to come to you? As a severe disciplinarian who makes you
toe the mark? Or as a good friend and counselor who wants to share
heart-to-heart with you?
You
decide.
|
1. I will
give the acknowledged speaker my full attention in class and will not
interrupt him or her. If I do, I will
receive one warning per class. After the
warning, if I continue to disrupt the class, I will pay 2 credits. If I violate this rule a third time, I will
be moved out of the room and will need to discuss the situation with Mrs.
Robideau. If Mrs. Robideau leaves me outside for an unusually long time, she
will pay me 5 credits as retribution for her forgetfulness.
2. The
class will be allowed to eat small snacks and have drinks with a covered lid in
class. However, if I accidentally
make a mess, I will be required to clean up my mess. If I leave a mess for someone else to clean
up, I will do one housecleaning chore to benefit others. (eg. Clean desks, playground garbage pick up, etc)
3. Everything
I say in class will be positively contributing, encouraging and beneficial to
the class. I will refrain from using inappropriate slang in the
classroom. I will refrain from
communicating negative comments about anybody!
If I violate this rule, I will immediately apologize. Depending on the
severity of the remark, I may be required to do some follow up discussion with
Mrs. Robideau or the student involved.
4. I will
be allowed to ride my scooter, bike, skateboard, roller blades only when I am
OFF school property during the hours of 8:00 to 3:30 on school days. I can
ride them at Ben Lee with a helmet
during daily physical activity times. If
I violate this rule, I will pay a 5 credit fine to the bank. If I am slower
than Mrs. Robideau coming back from the park, I will pay 5 credits.
5. I will
respect others’ property and personal space. If I do not, I will correct the problem by
repairing or replacing any property that is damaged and/or apologizing to the
person whose personal space or property I disrespected. A payment of credits
may be required. Mrs. Robideau will supervise the correction to make sure it is
done properly.
6. As specified in the school handbook, with
permission each time, I may be allowed to use a cell phone to listen to music
or audio books in class! I understand that this is a privilege, not
a right, and can and will be taken away if I am not using it responsibly. If I am listening at an unapproved time, I may
receive a warning. If it happens again,
my privilege will be removed for that day or week. Consistent disobedience of this rule may
result in removing the privilege from the student permanently. If I am using it
to listen to music during permitted times, I vow to only listen to Mrs.
Robideau approved Christian artists or purely instrumental music. I understand that since music choices are a
subjective and potentially controversial issue, I will refrain from using
important class time debating this.
7. I will obey Mrs. Robideau when she
yells, “Freeze” and immediately stop what I am doing. I will not
talk, or move but stay still as a statue until she says, “Melt” or “Unfreeze”. Then I will listen quietly
to what she needs to say. If she catches me moving or talking, I
will pay a specified amount of credits.
8. In learning to be
responsible and organize my time well, I will strive to limit trips to my
locker or to the washroom/water fountain. If I am not back from my locker by the time
Mrs. Robideau counts down, I will pay 2 credits. If I need to use the washroom or fill my
water bottle during class time, I will pay a 2 credit fine.
9. I will
work to the best of my ability during class time and strive to use my time
wisely. I will plan to complete all
homework assignments and study for my tests. If a valid reason for not completing work
arises, I will be responsible and communicate with everyone involved and work
for an alternative way to compete the assignment. If I show up on the day unprepared, I will
fill out an excuse form and hand it in to Mrs. Robideau. We will discuss the consequences later. Ongoing issues will require contact with my
parents.
10. I will
be on time for class. If I am late
for class, I will apologize politely and take my seat with as little disruption
to the class as possible. If I am within 3 minutes of the bell, I do not need
to get a late slip in the morning
I, _______________________________
will abide by the above rules and consequences to the best of my ability. I acknowledge that Mrs. Robideau is in a
position of authority over me and has the final say in all these disciplinary
matters. I am signing on the date,
_____________________. This contract is
in effect until the last day of grade 7.
