Classroom Expectations (simply the Bill of Rights). The classroom Bill of Rights is simple. “The teacher has the right to teach and students

have the right to learn. Everyone will respect these rights.”

Simply put, any actions that interfere with teaching and learning are unacceptable.

Students are expected to adhere to the Student Code of Conduct as well as these classroom expectations:

BE PUNCTUAL. Have materials out, have pencils sharpened,

and be seated before the tardy bell rings. If there is an assignment on the board or

overhead, begin before being told to do so.

BE PREPARED Bring all materials to class for each day. If

you need to borrow a pen or paper, do so before class begins.

BE RESPONSIBLE Do all your class work and turn it in on time. If you are absent, be sure to check my link

tolearn what you missed, and complete any assignments by the timeline given.

BE ORGANIZED. Know where your materials are.Know what you need to do.Present your work legible and neatly.

BE AN ACHIEVER 1. Do your best in everything. 2. Try your hardest. 3. Aim for success. 4. Get involved and ask questions
