Parent Letter~ These are the expectations that I have: Students must always be on time. Students must follow school policies (ie dress code, rules for electronics, etc…) Students must be respectful to themselves, others, and the supplies. Students will always listen during instruction and not talk unless they raise their hand as part of the discussion. Students will stay focused on assignments. Students must try their best to learn, to be creative and open-minded, to enjoy the class.

Other information: Music: I will play music in the classroom. Students can request music to play and on Fridays students can sign up to make a playlist or CD of their own (that is school appropriate) that I will play. The must not use their portable mp3 players or cell phones during class. I ask everyone’s cooperation with this. SPOTIFY!!!
