Class Expectations

Welcome to our classes. We are looking forward to an excellent, successful year. We would like you to know what you can expect in our classrooms.

We believe that education is the primary key to a successful life. Education allows you to obtain a good job, form healthy relationships, communicate your ideas, make sound decisions, and reach rewarding goals. Our job is to teach you to be a productive and successful adult through teaching you in your reading class. Your job is to be the best student you can be.

You will succeed in this class if you participate, complete your assignments, ask questions, and risk making mistakes. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake or ask for help. That is often the best way to learn. We are available before or after school if you may need us. We expect a great deal from you, but we know that we will have a great year!
