Class Expectations
Most of the time homework looks like practicing skills or choreography from class. Students will often be allowed to complete classwork at home if they are unable to complete it in class. Late work is accepted until the end of the quarter deadline. 10 points are deducted for late work. A lower grade is always better than a zero!
Students are expected to come to class ready to learn and work. We dress out in athletic clothing and dance each day. Students are to treat the classroom, their teacher, and their peers with respect. If a student is having trouble meeting these expectations, students will receive a warning the first time, they will be pulled aside for the second offense, guardians will be contacted for the third offense, and their principal will be contacted for the fourth offense.
