1. Welcome to 8th Grade Social Studies – American/NC History Mr. Gouge kgouge@wcpss.net www.keithgouge7.weebly.com

2. Attendance • When the bell rings all teachers are to lock their door. • If you have a pass you can come in • If you don’t have a pass you must go to ISS room and sign in • Lates count across your classes not per class like last year • Easy rule of thumb, don’t be late and you don’t have to deal with it • Starts on day 6, be ready

3. Lunch • This year, all students must line up in a single file line outside the cafeteria, not in a huddled mess like last year • Get in a line, get your food • Don’t get in a line, don’t get your food • Get everything in 1 trip, stay seated, don’t make a mess, help clean up at the end

4. Bathroom, Hallway & Lockers • Go to the bathroom/locker before homeroom and between classes • No book bags in class or oversized “purses” that are big enough to qualify as luggage but are really only your bookbag • If need to go during class you will need to use 4 PBIS passes • If you need water during class you will need to use 4 PBIS passes • Track 1 should never be passed the bathrooms for any reason • Track 1 should only use the door by Mrs. Tyndall and Mr. Duprey’s rooms, not the one at end of hall

5. Overview • You already know I think you are AMAZING people, now go show your other teachers how great you are! I’ve been bragging about you to everyone so prove me right. • Just do the right thing, try your best, earn your grades and help each other out. • Don’t give admin a reason to speak to you except to praise your actions • Be a kid, do kid things, but make sure they are good kid things, OMG!!
