1. Students will sit four to a table of their choice on a permanent basis. (Designated tables will be reserved for special circumstances)

2. All students need to be seated in the study hall area for attendance when the bell rings or you will be counted tardy or absent.

3. Once attendance is taking, the students needing the library or computer lab may sign out to those areas. Any other classroom, you must have the teachers written permission before signing out. (You must be academically eligible for sign outs).

4. Study hall will be a quite place for students to work for a 20 minute period. There will be no talking, getting food or drinks during this time. Make sure you bring something to work on or something to read. After the study bell, you are able to move around the room, visiting with friends quietly or get something to ear/drink.

5. General:

a. All trash and cans are to be disposed of properly

b. When leaving, please push chairs up to the table

c. No card games will be played in study hall

6. All food shall be eaten in the lunchroom area unless permission is given from the classroom teacher to allow food/drink into their area.

7. No change will be given out during the lunch period. Also no food/pop can be purchased during the lunch time period when lunch is being served.

A NOTE FROM MRS. RUBIN

STUDY HALL SUPERVISOR

Study Hall this year has had a complete turn around. With the new rules in effect, kids are working better and getting more things done. Yes, there are still kids who need to take advantage of the “20 minutes, no talking”, but for the most part, the kids have really stepped up and have used this time to work.

Once the 20 minutes are over, kids are able to talk quietly with other friends without having to ask permission to move around the room. This gives them the sense of responsibility to do the right thing.
