Be Responsible: Bring your materials to class each day, and turn in your work on time. Arrive on time,
and use your time wisely while you are in class. Ask questions when you do not understand.
Be Respectful: Treat others in the way that you expect to be treated. Be respectful of the teacher and
the lesson; listen and do your best to learn.
Be Reasonable: If something is wrong or you are struggling with the class, you need to inform the
teacher in order that I may help you. I cannot help you if I am not aware that something is wrong. Also,
think before you act or speak; all actions and words have consequences.
