CLASS EXPECTATIONS Students are to follow the school rules and behaviors that are found in the front of the Minder Binder. Violations have consequences. See School Discipline Plan (also in the Minder Binder). No student may interfere with others’ rights to learn or to teach. Behave respectfully. Strive to do your best! Attitude over ability - we choose our attitude and a positive attitude can AT TIMES make up for our ability. Students are expected to be present and on time, remain quiet, seated and follow all directions during class. Be prepared to learn! Bring a pencil or pen and Minder Binder everyday. Clean up after yourself, and leave room neat for the next class, i.e. push chairs in, straighten keyboard, mouse. Students are to treat technology equipment with respect. You will be liable for damages. Take ownership! Fallon Pride!
