HIGH EXPECTATIONS, RIGOR, RELATIONSHIPS!

NO EXCUSES. ONLY RESULTS!

We will do whatever it takes to help you be successful. We will not let you fail.

But, you must be willing to accept help and suggestions and you must talk to us and let us know what you need.

1. Anything illegal or immoral

2. Overt Defiance

3. Blood & Guts Fighting – Call an ambulance, get a doctor/nurse

****EVERYTHING ELSE IS YOURS TO DEAL WITH IN YOUR CLASSROOM

This is extremely important. Be professional.

Your sick days are very valuable.

1. Have the worst attendance

2. Send more students to the principal’s office than any other teacher. Expects the principal to manage their classroom from his or her office. Monopolizes the principal’s time with petty discipline referrals.

******Don’t become one of those 3 teachers.

It’s going to be a great year.
