His concentrations were math and science, in which he is currently certified to teach. Currently, Mr. Gray is finishing his Master's program from Central Michigan University.After graduating from college, Mr. Gray went on to pursue his teaching career by working as a math teacher for Fulton County. After two years of being in Fulton County, Mr. Gray transferred to Clayton County where he is currently teaching 8th grade mathematics.
HOW TO ENTER THE CLASSROOM As students enter the classroom QUIETLY, they will begin working on the warm up, which will be placed on the board or projector. The entire class schedule/agenda will be posted on the board daily.
HOW TO HEAD YOUR PAPER The correct way to head your paper for my class will always be located above the board. Please, pay attention to the order in which items should be listed on your heading. We will go over this in class today. NO EXCUSES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR A PAPER NOT HEADED CORRECTLY.
HOW TO TURN IN WORK Baskets are located on the shelves for the turning in of homework/class work. (Each class has their own label.) Students will pass papers to the left ending at each row assuming I am collecting a class work assignment. Students will immediately turn in their homework by placing it into basket when entering class. After the last bell has rung, I will not accept any homework assignments.
Absent Work Absent work will be located in the folder on the shelf named ABSENT FLODER. Look for your name on the assignment and return it to me no later than the next day. Daily classwork and homework will also be located on the school website. Please check this daily.
