1.        Respect yourself, the teacher & others

•  Show respect for the teacher, yourself and others at all times.

• Respect others’ property.  Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not belong to you (including desks, textbooks, teacher’s belongings, walls, etc.) 

• Don't expect that others will clean-up for you. Please pick-up after yourself. 

•  Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language.

 2.       Be prepared for class each day

• An organized class binder containing all necessary materials and handouts

3.      Pay attention, participate and ask question 

• Engage in what is going on in the classroom.  If you have a question, ask it!  Otherwise, I might not know until the test that you didn’t understand something. 

• Be proactive about your learning and don’t be afraid to ask for help.  If you feel most comfortable waiting until after class, that is okay, too, but do keep communication open between us.

 6.      Preserve a positive learning environment

• Student actions that interfere with teaching or learning in the classroom will NOT be tolerated. 

• Use class time wisely

• Minimize classroom interruptions by arriving to class on time and not leaving the classroom during the hour.

 7.      Take responsibility for your actions

• If you are confronted about a rule infraction, own up to it.  Don’t deny it, lie about it, or blame someone else.

• All student handbook rules will be enforced.  Please read your handbook.
