Fair Fields Middle School Music Department

Rules:
1. Be respectful of yourself, your peers and the
teacher. Do not exhibit behaviors that display
disrespect. Bullying is a serious offense and will not
be tolerated.
2. Keep your arms, feet, and other objects to yourself.
3. Band students must be ready to play with your
instrument, music and a pencil 2 minutes after the
bell has rung. Choir and general music students must
be in their seats when the bell rings.
4. There is to be no food, drink, or gum in the
classroom at all times.
5. Before and after class is a time to socialize, NOT
DURING CLASS.
If a rule is broken, a student will receive a check. The system of checks
breaks down as follows:
1. His or her name will be written down with a warning given.
2. The student will stay after class to discuss behavior.
3. The student will have a half hour detention after school in the music
department on a selected date (including staying after class).
4. The student will be sent straight to the referral office for a half hour
(with a half hour detention after school.)
5. For repeat offenses, the student will be sent to the office and
parents will be contacted.
Students who have repeated multiple offenses throughout the year will not
be able to participate in the end-of-the-school-year Cedar Point trip. Every
student starts fresh the next day. Checks will not carry over to the next day.
Tardies: Failure to be ready to play in band 2 minutes after the bell has rang
or not ready to sing in choir or general music will result in a tardy. You must
have a pass if you are late coming from another class to not be tardy. Three
tardies will result in a music department detention. Any tardies after three
will result in the schools tardy plan: referrals to the office, lunch detention, in
school suspension, and/or a parent conference. If you dont want to lose
privileges, dont be tardy!

Positive consequences will be integrated in the classroom individually as well

as collectively.

Any disruptions in class can and will take away time and
focus from your peers!
This classroom management plan gives the students a general idea of what I and
their peers expect of them. The goal of the classroom management plan is to
provide an environment that students will learn the best in, while spelling out how
consequences will be carried out. This plan is fairly simple and it should work. The
goal is to be student focused with the teacher leading the ensembles/groups. This
will benefit my classroom because both students and parents will understand what
is going on when I send this home to the students parents. I will give these to
students to give to their parents and I will also email/mail these management plans
to all my students to ensure that parents get them. Discipline does not affect a
students grade. I do not put it in my plan because that might give the students
more of a reason to goof off and disrupt the classroom. Some students will try to
push your buttons as much as possible. Grading is based on knowledge. The rules
plan will be near the entrance/exit to the band room and behind the conductor
during class so it is always viewable.
