Advanced Tech Mr. Brian Pool Please come in and have a seat!

Expectations I expect nothing less than your best! The district depends on this class and you personally. This is like a job, and I grade it as such. I want 100% grades from every student in this class. Assignments are not optional, and are an integral part of this class.

PC Work throughout the entire District Anytime you are not in room 203 you represent this class and our program. We want to keep some earned freedoms How? Do not look in or disturb other classes. Do not make noise in halls. Do not divert or delay in other locations. Come back when your task is done. Back
