3. Coach Tate Head Cross Country Coach This is my 20 th year of teaching and coaching. I have 2 kids, a 6 th grader at BMSS and a freshman at Champion. My wife is the principal at Curington Elementary. I enjoy sports and spending time with my family.

4. Expectations Give effort every day. Take something from every class that will prepare you to be a more productive person and citizen. Respect others and opinions that may differ from your own.

5. Procedures Cell phones should be placed in the holder at the back of the room. If we need them I will let you know. Look at the board for assignments to begin class. There will be something for you to do as soon as the bell rings on most days. You may go to the bathroom with permission. Exceptions: the first and last 10 minutes of class. Remain seated until the bell rings. Refer to me as Coach Tate.

6. Class Rules Demonstrate respect for the teacher and your classmates at all times. Respect others property and space. Bring your materials to class. Use language appropriate for school. Profanity is obviously prohibited. However, your language should also reflect an attitude of respect for the teacher and fellow students.

7. Use the Website You must make it a habit to check the website. It will have homework assignments, videos, resources and special dates updated regularly. If you are absent, you should check the website to see what you missed. You may be able to do your assignment without picking anything up from me. http://teacherweb.com/TX/BoerneChampionHighSchool/A217/apt 1.aspx http://teacherweb.com/TX/BoerneChampionHighSchool/A217/apt 1.aspx
