Come ready to study the entire period. 2. ​ Remain in the same assigned seat each day. 3. ​ Work during the entire period. Visiting, sleeping, or otherwise non-productive use of time will not be permitted. 4. ​ Be seated and ready to work when the final bell rings. 5. ​ Students should not leave their seat without permission. 6. ​ Students are not allowed to speak with other students without first securing permission from the learning center supervisor. 7. ​ Food and drink is prohibited without administrative approval for special events. 8. ​ Leave the room in a neat and orderly manner. 9. ​ Do not mark on the desks. STUDENT ASSEMBLIES 1. ​ Auditorium assemblies--Students are to sit in their assigned seat. Seat assignments appear on the student’s schedule. 2. ​ Pep assemblies are in the gym.
