                                II. Hours of Accessibility

Meetings prior to school and from 2:40-3:20 will be scheduled with the student and/or parent around both your and my previously scheduled obligations.

 

                                III. Teaching Philosophy

I believe every student can succeed when four basic ingredients are used by both the teacher and the 

student's imagination, desire, belief, and action. To me, imagination includes creativity and utilizing different perspective of how both my students and

I see and do things; desire represents a passion to improve and achieve; belief incorporates a student’s belief in himself/herself and faith that I will do

everything in my power to help him/her achieve; and action involves working as a strong student/teacher team to make sure we communicate well to help

avoid confusion, treat each other with constant respect, and come to class prepared to give our best effort.

                               

                                IV. Classroom Rules

           The following expectations must be met by everyone involved in this classroom to create a fun, safe,

              and productive learning environment where we can express our ideas and learn from each other.

      1.      Raise your hand when you have something to say.

      2.      No talking when a teacher or a peer is talking.

      3.      Be respectful and polite to one another.

      4.      Keep your hands and feet to yourself.

      5.      NO BULLYING!!

      6.   You are dismissed by the teacher, not the bell.

      7.   Hoods worn up, or hats of any kind, are not permitted.

      8.   There is to be no tipping while sitting in a chair.

 

  All school policies must be followed. Be sure you are familiar with these rules. You will be held responsible for them.
