    Class Expectations:

    • Be on time, on task, and prepared to learn every day.

    • Follow directions the first time they are given.

    • Be honest.  Cheating in any form will not be tolerated whether it be a test, quiz, homework, etc.

    • Be responsible for your own learning and actions.  Pay attention, take notes, participate in class discussions, and turn in all assignments.  Overdramatic reactions or complaining will not be tolerated.

    • Respect the teacher, the classroom, other students, and yourself.  Do not interrupt or disrupt the classroom.

    • TRY.  ​Do your best.  I will do my absolute best to prepare you to be successful, but you have to do your part as well.

     All in all, I expect students to:

    Be Respectful           Be Responsible            Be Honest

     

    READY?
