Rigor, Respect, Relevance, and Relationships
"It is my responsibility to positively promote education; to provide insight, knowledge, discernment, and wisdom within individuals as they become lifelong learners full of compassion, humility, self-confidence, and enthusiasm. Throughout the year, I want each student to learn to take risks, to grow through their mistakes, and recognize his/her full potential through the use of collaboration, problem-solving, accountability, responsibility, assessment, and reflection while using critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, collaboration, creativity, and innovation. Developing these skills is essential for the growth, prosperity, and conscientious decision-making necessary to be lifelong learners."- Mr. Stracco
To My Students:
1) Leave the excuses at the door. If you didn't do your homework, just admit it and get it done.
2) If you don't understand an assignment, ASK FOR HELP.
3) If you didn't study for a test, resolve to do better next time.
4) If you choose to break a rule, you choose to accept the consequences.
5) I am here for the following reasons only: To teach, to inspire, and to help.
6) You will be held accountable and responsible for your actions and assignments. No one else will be.
I will do my part... the rest is up to you.
