Class Information/Expectations:
- Students are expected to arrive on time and be prepared for class.
- DRINKS: Water is the ONLY drink allowed in class. Any other drink will be thrown away upon arrival to my classroom.
- While we are a "no-homework" school, students WILL finish any classwork that is undone at home. Extended day assignments are those assignments that cannot or were not completed in class.
- Absences: If students are absent, they are responsible for asking me what they missed in class. They will have the appropriate number of days to complete their assignment before it is considered late.
- Participation: Students who choose not to participate, turn in assignments or study for their tests will see this reflected on their grade. Conduct or behavior issues will be handled through the appropriate method as outlined in the school handbook.
- School dress code will be strictly enforced! Please be sure to arrive in class wearing the appropriate uniform.
