Behaviour Expectations
The band room is a different kind of classroom in which specific rules must be followed to keep everyone safe and learning. I will go over the rules with the students during the first week of school. If a student decides not to follow the rules, I will talk with them individually. If there is another incident, he/she will be sent out in the hallway for some time to think about their actions, and I will contact you. If there is a third incident, there will be a visit with the principal and another contact with you. The progression of the whole group is important to everyone therefore; interruptions can make the flow of learning difficult.
Classroom Rules:
- When you arrive in the band room, get your equipment and music folder and sit in your ASSIGNED seat.
- When the director is at the podium, you do not talk. Bring a cooperative and positive attitude to each class.
- DO NOT touch another student’s instrument or belongings. DO NOT play any instruments that do not belong to you.
- Be respectful of the room and the people in it.
- No cell phones or electronic devices out at any time. They should be on silent and put away during class.
- No food or drink allowed in the band room during class time (water bottle OK).
- Put your music folder and instrument in the proper storage area after class.
- Have FUN!!
