Our Health Science Community of Learning Expectations:

Everyone is expected to be respectful, engaged, prepared, and inclusive. This applies to the physical classroom in Room C106, as well as online within our Google Classroom. Maintaining a safe, clean, and professional academic setting will enable us to successfully cover the content and ensure all students are set up for excellence now...and beyond. We will post class rules and our social contract during week 1. And finally, I expect us to enjoy our time exploring health science.

Classroom Procedures:

My intent is to have us all use our time efficiently and effectively. Please reference the whiteboard (front of classroom) & Google Classroom regarding classroom procedures for lessons, small groups, labs, and testing. See Mr. Perry with any questions/concerns.
