Respect your teachers and classmates Enjoy learning Do your best Cooperate with others Ask questions Remember we are a family Participate in class Excel at everything you do! Try your hardest and never give up! Class Expectations

The kind of year we have is up to you! If you need ANYTHING, please ask! If you don’t understand or have a question, ALWAYS ask. Someone else is probably wondering the same thing. Remember, I am here to help you learn! That is my job. We are a classroom community of learners. Treat others as you would like to be treated. We will always be respectful to each other. You will probably spend more time with your school family than you will spend at home with your family during the school week. I have high expectations and will always expect your best. In return, I will always give you my best. Final Thoughts
