BGIS BROADCAST

Tune in every morning at 8:00 for BGIS broadcast. This is where you can find out information about what’s going on at school. On Friday’s, we sometimes have a “week-in-review.” Keep an eye out for pictures of you or your friends.Slide15

*Pledge — When you hear/see the signal, stop what you're doing immediately and stand up; place your right hand over your heart; say the Pledge of Allegiance respectfully; during the 30 seconds of silence, quietly think about the things you want to learn today and how you will act in class.Slide16

Your locker is where you will keep all your stuff. If you keep it organized, all of your books and things will fit in it. The one important thing to remember about your locker is your locker combination.

INDEPENDENT READING(IDR Time)

Independent reading is time set aside for you to spend with a “Just Right Book.” This time will be in the morning during 1st period.Slide18

Academy is where you get to choose what you would like to learn more about. We have academies that deal with technology, cooking, gardening, and even photography. Academy changes about every 6 weeks; therefore you get a chance to participate in many classes. Sounds great doesn’t it? Told you Academy was awesome!

We have an Academy Program and it is AWESOME! Slide19

You have to dress your best. The dress code is enforced so you really need to wear the right clothes. Just a few no’s…no gym shorts, sweat pants, spaghetti straps, short shorts, etc.

DRESS YOUR BEST!Slide20

You start off with a few exercises to keep you healthy and then after the warm up exercises it is time to play. You will participate in flag football, basketball, lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, and many more fun activities.

PE is FUN!Slide21

We use Edmodo. No, I did not say Komodo, but Edmodo. It is an online site that lets you have educational discussions with other students and teachers will put assignments online that you can work on. It’s a great way to stay educationally connected.

Possible “Helper” Jobs for Students

Library HelpersOffice HelpersLost & Found HelpersSlide27

*Helping other students — In a cooperative classroom, it is good to help one another; if someone needs help with directions or reading an assignment, help him or her if you are able; never put down another student who asks for help.Slide28
Slide29

Getting into work groups — Take all the materials you will need; greet each other; complete the task doing your personal best; thank the others in your group.Slide30

*When and how to use the school restroom — You may go to the restroom between class transitions; do not play in the restroom; return to class before two minutes have passed (promptly).

Restroom BreaksSlide31

Leaving the room — Tell me where you are going; take the correct hall pass or sign out on the door; do not run or play in the hallways or restrooms.Slide32

*What to do during free time — If you finish an assignment, first work on any unfinished work; when you finish those, you may choose to do your classroom job, read a book, write a story, illustrate a book that you have written, make up math problems, work on a research project, peer-tutor someone who needs your help.Slide33

Signals for attention — If a teacher or administrator hold ups a “zero”

; as soon as you see the signal; stop what you are doing, hold a zero up to show that you acknowledge what you see, look at the adult, and listen for directions.Slide34

Lining up — Stand up quietly; push in your chair; take all necessary items; line up without touching others or talking; face the front of the line; watch where you are going.Slide35

Lunch is really delicious! Our lunch at Brock’s Gap is a self-serve lunch so you will put the food on your own plate. This means you get to choose what and how much you get…but remember to keep money in your lunch account.

In the lunchroom, sit together as a class at the assigned table. Throw away your trash when you are finished eating.

LUNCHSlide36

*Visitors in the classroom — When visitors enter the room, you may say hello— a smile is great!; when the visitors introduce themselves, say, "Welcome to our class, __________"; remember, most visitors are here to watch you learn, so be ready to explain what you are working on; treat visitors respectfully. Do not interrupt the visitor while he/she is speaking and keep voices very quiet.Slide37

*Ending the day — Clean off your desk; pick up any trash within three feet of your desk; come back to your seat; wait quietly to be dismissed.* Afternoon Dismissal – We will pack up at 2:55. You should pack your binder, go to your locker, and then come right back to the classroom and wait for the announcement to dismiss. When dismissed WALK down the main hallway stairs. You are NOT allowed to hang out in the hallway while you wait for dismissal. Slide38

* Make Up Work – if you are absent, it will be your responsibility to come and ask for your make up work. It will also be your responsibility to complete it and turn it back in. If you fail to do this, you will receive a zero.* Missing Assignment – If you miss a homework assignment, you will sit alone at lunch and complete your assignment while you eat silently. You will also fill out a missing assignment take home note that will need to be signed by a parent.
