Everyone learns differently and at a different pace. • Get here on time. • Wait your turn to talk. It is important to listen before you speak. Do not talk when the teacher is talking. • Do not engage in side conversations. • Turn phones to off or vibrate. Answer your phone outside of the classroom only if it is an emergency.
