Team Expectations Each teacher will go over classroom expectations and syllabus with students. We follow the “Boystown” guidelines on expected behaviors. Expectations are reviewed and practiced with students. Students will not be allowed to interrupt the learning of others. Failure to follow expectations will result in a student/teacher conference to reinforce expectations, removal to separate location, processing using a “think sheet”, or a team meeting with teachers to resolve issue. Parent meeting will be initiated if expectations are not met by above strategies.

Study Help Study Club Provide after school help Technology available Teachers will be available before or after school to help your child. Please make arrangements with the specific teacher.
