Donations for the classroom are most welcome! There is an $10 class fee for English. I use this money to purchase supplies, activities, programs, books, subscriptions, services, and anything else that will aid us in our quest for academic excellence. Usually, I buy paper and books. I will also use these funds if we have a class party.

I use Remind to communicate with students and parents on a class by class basis. Please join the Remind group below for your student's class. I only use this for reminders like: "Don't forget the homework" or "Bring your pizza money!"

My general rule is "Don't do anything that you know you shouldn't do"
Weirdly, that is not enough for many of my students.
I have the same rules that you would expect from all the other classes that ever existed:
- Be respectful
- Don't talk while I'm talking
- Be on time
- Follow the school rules
- Bring your supplies
- etc...
Exceptional Rules and Things that can get you in trouble real fast:
Exceptional Rules and Things that can get you in trouble real fast:
Breaking stuff: Please don't break my stuff. Don't break pencils; I buy those. Don't pop the keys off the keyboards. Don't disrespect the materials that I have in the classroom - that's rude and infuriating. This is a hard line with me.
Disrespect: My students are 12-13 and they are in a spot in life where few things make absolute sense. They have lost the privileges of childhood and not yet earned the privileges of young adulthood. I have a fairly forgiving nature for the usual things: not sitting still, talking, daydreaming, doodling, etc.. I will lose my cool in a hot second over disrespect. Eye rolling, head bobbing, throwing your arms up, etc... I will call home quicker for disrespect than any other infraction. You may never hear a peep from me about tardiness, lack of pencils, or uniform issues - but I will text parents during class for disrespect.
