Students need to have the following materials with them each day:

• student agenda (to be checked daily)
• pens/pencils (we have a small supply)
• lined paper and graph paper (we have a supply if needed)
• adaptive equipment (individual basis: ex. Calculator, tape recorder)
• materials/work from one or two of your courses you would like assistance with ** You must bring materials with you. You will only be allowed to leave the classroom on an “emergency” basis once class begins
• An alert and cooperative attitude

Classroom Code: “If you expect respect, be the first to show it.”

Expected student behavior includes:

• being on time
• respecting self and others
• showing courtesy to self and others
• being responsible for your assignments and study time

Class time will be spent on individualized and/or group work according to each student’s goals on the IEP. This work is generated from materials/work in your courses OR from individual work in your folder or work station. All work is designed to help you improve skills in specific areas (i.e.: developing academic independence, improving personal study habits, improving content area vocabulary, improving math skills, and developing personal learning strategies so that you can improve your grades and reach career goals).

Your IEP contains goals. We will be tracking your progress towards these goals on checklists. I will meet with you on an individual basis in regards to your goals.

To begin to prepare you for college/career readiness, we want you to be responsible for notifying us about core assignments and assistance will be available according to each student’s IEP. We also want you to notify us as soon as possible about any exams you have so that we can plan to provide you with testing accommodations you may have.

Have a wonderful and successful year!
