YOU FORGOT SOMETHING:

·       Pencil/Pen: BEFORE class, quietly find one, borrow one or trade your ASB card, and borrow one from the pencil /pen container.

·       Binder: Ask a neighbor for a sheet of paper. Then put it into the appropriate section of your binder later.

·       Book: You can share with a neighbor appropriately and quietly.

BATHROOM/DRINKING FOUNTAIN:

·       Use the restroom and fountain during passing time. You may ask me at an appropriate time if there is an emergency. Your agenda will be your pass after I sign it.

YOU FINISHED EARLY:
