Welcome to our class! I am looking forward to an exciting semester. My goal is to provide you with a challenging, yet fun experience in the classroom. I have extremely high expectations of all my students. We will have a respectful culture where students give ideas, collaborate with others, and work hard to be successful. It is my belief that students should take ownership of their education, so this class will align with that.

Classroom Procedures
Absent Students: If it is necessary that you miss school, we will follow the rules as listed in the student handbook. Google Meets are available each day. All Assignments are posted in Google Classroom. However, paper copies will be utilized also. Upon returning to class, immediately check the purple drawers to pick up handouts. It is YOUR responsibility to check for missed assignments and handouts. Make up tests will be given during your class period.
Tardies: If you are NOT inside the door when the bell finishes ringing ….YOU ARE TARDY!! Please knock one time & wait patiently until the door is answered.
Technology:. phones MUST be put away at ALL times in the classroom. Earbuds may be used ONLY during times instructed by the teacher to do so. Any other time, earbuds MUST be put away. Chromebooks will be used most days in the classroom.
Turning in “On-Time” Assignments: Assignments should never be handed to me or put on my desk!!! All assignments and tests not in Edulastic or Google Classroom are to be put in your purple class drawer on the side shelf!!
