Class Rule • RESPECT
Respect yourselves: Come dressed like and act like ladies and gentlemen. • Respect each other: Treat each other with kindness and dignity. Help each other. • Respect the classroom environment: • Arrive on time. • Raise your hand and waiting to be acknowledged instead of shouting out • Be silent and attentive while others are speaking, etc. • Be on task during individual and partner activities. These behaviors ensure a calm environment in which every student can learn. No one can learn in chaos.
Extra Help • I can give extra help after school during the tutorial period. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is a late bus. The late bus times and routes are posted on the HS website.
