  • It is imperative to take notes whenever they are given; note taking is the key to success.

 

  • Do ALL assignments whenever they are given.  TAKE REPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR EDUCATION.

 

  • When you are absent, IT WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK CANVAS for your missed assignments when you return from an absence. Work not returned within the allotted time will result in a ZERO.

 

  • Please ask questions if you are unsure or you don’t understand.  Remember, the “dumbest” question is the one that’s never asked.

 

  • RESPECT IS TOP PRIORITY and OBEDIENCE IS ESSENTIAL!

 

  • MY PHILOSPHIES:   “Self-discipline is the key to success. You cannot educate an undisciplined child.”

Let’s not waste it on foolishness and misbehavior.”
