What are my expectations of you?
I have three very simple expectations. However, they mean a lot to me and I
do EXPECT each student to follow them.
1. Be RESPECTFUL! Treat teachers, school personnel, classmates, and the
school building with respect.
2. Be PREPARED! Be on time to class with all your materials for the period.
Begin copying your homework into your agenda and working on your "Do Now"
immediately.
3. Do your BEST! Try, take risks, don't be afraid to fail, pay attention,
and participate by joining the discussion and asking questions. Remember, no
one is perfect and I don't expect perfection!
--------------------------------------
What happens if I forget my homework?
It goes down as a zero. You must still show it to me the next day for half
credit. Rememeber....half credit is MUCH BETTER than a zero. Do not be later
than one day with homework!! It is your responsibility to show me make-up
work for credit; I will not chase you looking for it.
