Class Participation & Expectations

Active participation is essential to success in Health class. Engaging fully in class activities not only enhances your own learning but also supports a positive learning environment for everyone. Students are expected to meet the following expectations:

1. Be On Time

• • Students should be in their seats before the bell rings.
  • If you are not through the doorway when the bell rings, you will be marked tardy.

2. Come Prepared and Ready to Learn

• • Arrive with all necessary materials and a focused mindset.
  • Remain on task and complete Health assignments before working on assignments from other classes.

3. Engage in Class Discussions

• • Contribute by asking and answering questions.
  • Participate actively and respectfully in both small and large group discussions.

4. Follow the Class Code of Conduct

• • Conduct yourself in a way that promotes learning for both yourself and your peers.
  • Limit side conversations during instruction.
  • Behavior concerns will be addressed individually or with the class, depending on the situation.

5. Respect the Classroom Environment – Our Biosphere
   We share this space for much of the semester and are all responsible for maintaining a clean and respectful environment:

• • Dispose of trash properly.
  • Clean up any spills or messes immediately.
  • Pick up trash, even if it isn’t yours.
  • Return class materials to their proper place before the bell rings.

6. Cell Phone Policy

• • Cell phones are not permitted during class time.
  • Phones must be stored in the designated Cell Phone Holder unless specific permission is given by the teacher.
