I was a two-year Varsity letter winner there, a 2007 SSAC 1st Team All-Conference and Defensive Player of the Year and the 2008 SSAC All-Conference MVP. I graduated in July 0f 2008, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.

Cell Phones There will be NO cell phones in class. This means no personal phone calls, texting, listening to music. If I see it, I will warn you once, after the first warning I will take it up and take it to the office for you to get back at the end of the day (with a write up). Do not ask to listen to music from your phone, I will play music from my computer! We may have a couple days during the quarter, we will do research or look up definitions, if you’re good for the week (no write ups, on time to class, work is turned in), I will let you use your phones.

Food & Drink Food and drinks are not allowed in class If you are good for the whole week and don’t get PRIDE put on the chalkboard, on Friday you may have food and drinks in the room. Again, this is a special privilege based on EVERYONE’S behavior. Don’t be that person that makes everyone miss out on special privileges!

PRIDE Rules If you want to eat or drink food on Friday, you have to behave during Monday- Thursday. This isn’t individual, this is for everyone! If you come late to class a P gets put on the board (or RIDE) If you get to PRIDE before Friday, you will not get to eat or drink on Friday

Teachers Desk & Student Workstation You need to raise your hand and ask permission to get anything from the student work station (Paper, pencil, turn in your work) Students are not allowed what so ever to touch anything on my desk or be behind my desk without permission.

Do not write on the folders I give you, they will be reused. Folders for Class Do not write on the folders I give you, they will be reused. If you write on it, damage it, or don’t take care of it, you will have to replace it.

Excuse Notebook Every time you do not have your work turned in or incomplete you will fill out the “Excuse Notebook.” After 3 entries, I will notify your parents by a phone call, email, and letter home!

You will get 3 bathroom passes a quarter. Do not ask to go to the bathroom once the bell rings, go before you come to class You will get 3 bathroom passes a quarter. When you have to use the restroom, raise your hand and ask for permission. If you have a pass, you will take it from the bathroom pass sheet on the chalkboard and hand it to me. The passes you don’t use will count for extra credit at the end of the quarter. If you tell me you have to use the bathroom, go to the bathroom, do not wander around. After 5 minutes if you are not back, I will call the office and I will consider that skipping!
