PARTICIPATION
Participation is critical to the overall quality of your learning. Student
participation includes the quality of class contributions, using our
common language, having your materials, timeliness, and
demonstrating an overall positive attitude. This includes being
respectful of yourself, your peers, and your teacher.
Students are expected to follow all the rules outlined in the UCS Student
Handbook.
We will follow the Reality Therapy system that centers around behavior
being a choice.
Gum, candy, food, and/or beverages, are not allowed in class. Water is
the only exception. Students may bring bottled water into class.
Students should bring only the required materials for class. Large
backpacks, cell phones, iPods, and other types of items are not allowed,
unless requested by the teacher.
