All students are expected to show respect and consideration toward other students and their instruments as well as towards school property.

Room Rule: No GUM, food, candy, drink containers, or other nuisance items are allowed in this room. Let's take care of our room!

Instruments: You are responsible for having your own instrument at school each day and in good working condition. If you forget your instrument – you will need to make up the time. You may either stay after school for 52 minutes OR you may make up the time practicing at home. You have two days to complete this by bringing me a signed note that you have practiced for the 52 minutes.

Talking: When Mr. Schulz, or anyone is at the podium, THERE IS NO TALKING! When they move away from the podium area, you may converse quietly. Two taps of the baton on the stand is your signal that it is time to stop all conversations.

Manners: Students are expected to show good manners in the classroom which include raising your hand and then waiting to be called upon to talk or ask questions. There is to be no talking while the teacher is talking.

Tardies: You are expected to be in the classroom preparing for class before the starting time of the class. If not, you are considered tardy. My tardy policy states that tardies are made up with 15 minutes plus the amount of tardy time after school and this policy will be enforced. Further tardies will follow school tardy policy.

Bathroom: You need to use the restroom and drinking fountain between classes. A trip to the restroom during class time will cost you 10 minutes after school (unless it is an emergency).

Attendance: We are a performance class and therefore attendance is required at all performances unless prior arrangements have been made.

Concert Attire: When we perform, we wear our class shirts or our best clothes.
PLAN AHEAD!!!

Satisfaction: The enjoyment of music comes from the satisfaction of seeing your own progress and knowing that you have done the best you can do.


Please note: These expectations are in place at ALL times including when we have a sub in our room, any guest or when you are out of my direct line of site.
