What Do High School Teachers Expect?
That Students… become more self-reliant over time. ask questions for clarification. know when they need help and learn
to ask for it. come prepared and ready to learn. complete their homework. make up missing assignments when
they are absent.
Homework Expect homework EVERY DAY for Math,
English, Science, Foreign Language (core subjects)
Complete A-day homework on A-days and B-day homework on B-days, this allows students to go to study hall with questions BEFORE the homework is due.
Use a daily planner, SchoolLoop to keep track of daily assignments and projects and Aeries to track grades and achievement in class.

dates. Check SchoolLoop for deadlines
