KEYS TO SUCCESS

In Class and In Life!

Respect.  In all places in life you must show respect.  Please show respect to me, the classroom, to your classmates, and especially to yourself.

Promptness.  Everyone appreciates people being on time.  Late arrival to class interrupts the learning environment and is very distracting to me and to your classmates. Unexcused or chronic tardiness will result in before or after school detention at my discretion.

Preparedness.  You must come to class ready to learn. Each day you should have your text, a three-ringed binder and a writing utensil.  No other materials should be at your desk with you.

Appreciation. Everyone appreciates being appreciated.  We all are unique and our diverse backgrounds give us different perspectives on issues, resulting in different viewpoints.  Learn to appreciate each member of the class, regardless of his/her point-of-view.

Safety. Student safety is my number one priority. I take great measures to ensure a safe and clean working environment.  We must all do our part to keep it that way.  Severe consequences, including elimination from all lab activities, will result if you cannot follow all safety procedures all of the time.

Fairness and Consistency. I try to be fair and consistent as possible to all my students.  If you ever feel that you are not being treated fairly in class, see me privately and we will work together to resolve any problems.
