Expectations

My goal is to prepare you for your next stage of life (career, next school year, college, etc).

You can all excel, but I cannot want you to succeed more than you want yourself to succeed.

I expect you all to improve your writing and ready yourselves for current and future success.

Page 4: Welcome Back!

Expectations

School is not just meant to prepare you for life academically; I will help reinforce the social skills that you will need to succeed.

I want you to want to better yourselves. Do not settle for the minimum. Do not feel satisfied with “just getting by” or you will be “just getting by” over the duration of your entire life. Don’t settle for the minimum—raise the bar!

About Me

I have taught Senior English, English 10 Honors, Journalism, HSPA, and Freshman English.

You are in good hands. Just as you work for me, I work for you.

When the bell rings, I do not run for the door. If you need help after school, I will be here.

Page 9: Welcome Back!

About Me

Think of me as a manager. Every job has a manager. This is your practice run at life. I will treat you all fairly; I will be as pleasant as possible. However, I have a job to do.

You are high school students and I will treat you as such; I will enforce school policies under the assumption that you know what is expected of you by now.

Page 10: Welcome Back!

ProceduresI do not start the class. The bell does not start the class. YOU start the class.

There is a routine you are to follow. Immediately go to your seat, get out your materials for work, and complete your warm-up. I do not accept “make-up” warm-ups.

FACT: Students who do not complete quality warm-ups on a daily basis typically earn at least a letter grade lower than those students that do.

Rules

We are all here for YOU—for you to succeed and to enjoy this class. Because I care about each of you, I am here to help you. Therefore, I will not allow you to do anything that will interfere with your success in this class.

We need to have a class where you can come without fear of being ridiculed or threatened. Because I care about ALL of you, I will not allow you to anything that will interfere with someone else who is trying to learn.

Page 12: Welcome Back!

Rules

So that YOU can learn, so that WE can all learn, so that I can teach, I have a set of rules to ensure that we will have a safe and orderly classroom.

Page 13: Welcome Back!

Rules

1. Use common sense; Be respectful to people and property; Take turns; Ask intelligent questions; Participate.

2. Come to class on time; that should be easy out here. You’re not in class unless you’re in the classroom.

3. Bring your materials and supplies to class (notebook, textbook, writing utensils, assignments, agenda book, your brain).

Page 14: Welcome Back!

Rules

4. No eating or drinking in class. No water bottles, no chips.

5. You have to be here to learn. Take care of your personal needs before or after class (limited bathroom passes, no guidance passes, circus passes, etc.) -- if there is an EMERGENCY, fill out a pass in your agenda book and present it for approval at an APPROPRIATE time.

Page 15: Welcome Back!

Rules

6. No cell phones. Not even on your desk. If you have your cell phone out, you are in violation of a school policy. A warning is a courtesy, not mandatory on my part. You know the rules, you know the consequences.

7. No swearing/vulgar language. My job is to prepare you for a business/professional environment. Act like professionals.

Page 16: Welcome Back!

Late Assignments

Late/missing assignments require a missing assignment form to be filled out. If the form is not filled out, you may not turn in the assignment late.

Typical assignments receive half credit if submitted a day late.

Heavily weighted projects will receive a deduction of 10-20% off per day late at my discretion.

Page 17: Welcome Back!

Dress Code

Whether you like it or not, I enforce the dress code strictly.

If you are in violation of the dress code, I will write up a referral. I do not need to say anything to you—you know the rule. I do not care which period you are in or who did not write you up prior to your entry into my class. I care about what is going on inside of my classroom.

Page 18: Welcome Back!

Consequences

Successful people accept that life is a series of of consequences.

Consequences can be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE

Whether you like it or not, I am in constant contact with parents/guardians regarding both positive and negative

behavior. Contacting parents is a part of my job that I am expected to do and to keep a record of.

I believe in rewarding good behavior with homework passes, positive calls home, gift cards, and extra credit points.

Page 19: Welcome Back!

Consequences

Violation of class/school policies results in negative consequences.

I do not discuss write-ups during class time.

I will not stop my lesson to discuss negative consequences. I have a class to run. Discuss an issue with me after class or by appointment.

Page 20: Welcome Back!

Blue Devil Pride

We want to have pride in ourselves, our school, and what we accomplish.

Right now you are building a foundation before you enter your adult lives. Treat your time here seriously.
