Lexington Middle School

Students are expected to:

1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others. Show respect for the teacher, yourself and others at all times. Respect others’ property. Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not belong to you (including desks, textbooks, teacher’s belongings, walls, chalkboard, etc.). Don't expect that others will clean-up your messes. Please pick-up after yourself. Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language

2. Put forth your best effort at all times. Always do your own best work. Put learning ahead of getting good grades. Put quality ahead of just getting it done.

3. Be prepared for class each day. Come prepared with all materials necessary: A notebook for taking in-class notes. A writing utensil. Highlighters for emphasizing important text

4. Follow directions when given. When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused or have questions, ask. I would rather have you stop class to clarify than be off task while everyone else is working.

5. Pay attention, participate and ask questions. Engage in what is going on in the classroom. If you have a question, ask it! Otherwise, I might not know until the test that you didn’t understand something. There are no stupid questions, and chances are, if you are wondering about it, someone else in the class is to. Be proactive about your learning and don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you feel most comfortable waiting until after class, that is okay, too, but do keep communication open between us.

6. Preserve a positive learning environment Student actions that interfere with teaching or learning in the classroom will NOT be tolerated. Use class time to learn history/government. Please do not spend your time grooming, sleeping, talking, writing notes, playing cards, listening to music, text-messaging friends, or doing work for other classes. Minimize classroom interruptions by arriving to class on time and not leaving the classroom during the hour.

7. Take responsibility for your actions If you are confronted about a rule infraction, own up to it. Don’t deny it, lie about it, or blame someone else. Take responsibility for missed assignments. All handbook rules will be enforced. Please read your handbook. Students that choose to break these rules, choose to have points taken away from their learning readiness grade, and face the possibility of additional consequences.

Students are permitted to possess cell phones and other similar wireless communication devices on school property as long as such devices are not “in use” (turned on, beeping, sounding, etc.) displayed, or visible during the instructional day (from the time students enter the building in the morning until the time they leave school). The school is not responsible for the loss or theft of any such items and advises that these items should be secured by students during the school day. 

Classroom use of these devices is strictly prohibited. Parents should not call or text students during the day. Parents should call the front office to leave messages in the event of an emergency. The penalty for the violation of this policy is as follows:

• First offense – the student will be warned and the device is to be turned off and put away immediately. 

• Second offense – the item will be confiscated and a parent can pick up the device at the end of the school day. 

• Third offense – the item will be confiscated and a parent can pick up the device at the end of the semester.
