​ 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 your messes. Please pick-up after yourself.

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

Be a kind person.

2. Put forth your best effort

Always do your own work.

Put learning ahead of getting good grades.

Put quality ahead of just getting it done.

3. Be prepared for class each day

Come prepared with all necessary materials. This includes your agenda and an independent reading book of your choice!

4. Follow directions when given

When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused or have questions, never hesitate to ask me for clarification!

5. Pay attention, participate, and ask questions

Engage in what is going on in the classroom. If you have a question, ask it! There are no stupid questions, and chances are, if you are wondering about it, someone else in the class is, too!

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. Take responsibility for your actions

Own up to your actions. Don’t deny, lie, or blame someone else. Honesty goes a long way with me.

Take responsibility for missed assignments. Speak with me if you're having trouble making up missed work and we can work together to get you back on track!

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