Welcome everyone!

1. All school policies will be enforced!
2. Be respectful: Show respect for me, your peers, and also yourself. Treat others the way you should be treated; with fairness, kindness, and without judgment.
3. Be prepared: Always come prepared for class. Have materials ready, but more importantly be ready and prepared to learn.
4. Be on time: It is good practice to be punctual anyway, but to prevent students from missing too much in class, it is important that they be in class by the time the bell rings. 
5. Be responsible: Students are in control of their success in this class. If they are responsible with their work and turn it in on time and completed then they will experience success in this class. Should students not be responsible, they will not see success in their grades or their learning experience.
