Overarching Student Expectations for Honors English 11 (and all of NHS)

#1. Be where you’re supposed to be…when you’re supposed to be there #1 Be where you’re supposed to be…when you’re supposed to be there! This includes coming to class on time everyday with all classroom materials needed for the day. In order to get the most out of class, you must make the best effort to be here on time. All late students entering the room must have a signed pass from a teacher. Being on time also means in your seat when bell rings...not sliding into class as bell rings. NO EXCEPTIONS! LATES WILL BE ENTERED INTO HOME ACCESS!

#2 Follow direction/directives…the first time given!

#3. Accept and appreciate differences among us #3 Accept and appreciate differences among us! Come to class ready to treat others the way you expect to be treated. Talking while we or another students is talking is disrespectful and will not be tolerated. This is a classroom of mutual respect and we will act accordingly.

#4 Lead by doing the “Next Right Thing”!
