Classroom Expectations:
While in my classroom, I expect students to work with urgency while treating each other with high levels of respect and compassion. I will make every effort to ensure you have a 8th grade science experience that continues to develop your investigative skills and increases your ability to communicate your thoughts effectively. This means that our classroom environment must be a safe place to wrestle with complex thoughts. Any behaviors that threaten this environment will be subject to Woodmont Middle School’s discipline policy. Please see the student handbook for additional information.
