Policy Statement
Introduction to Philosophy
Mr. Ridewood
Spring 2015
Dear Student and Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
I am happy to have you in my class and look forward to a good semester with you. In order for it to
be a good semester, however, your involvement and cooperation are vital.
It is my job to provide an atmosphere in which things can be accomplished that will help you succeed
in my class. I have to do what is best for the class as a whole. With this in mind, I have developed a
short list of classroom rules for you to follow as well as a list of steps taken if you choose to not
adhere to the rules.
The rules are:
1. Students will RESPECT the feelings and property of everyone in the room, including themselves.
2. Appropriate language and behavior will be used at all times.
Steps taken if the rules are broken are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Retain this policy for future reference.
It is the responsibility of the student to have this policy statement signed by both students and
parent(s)/guardian(s), and will count as the first homework assignment.
I have read this policy statement with my daughter/son.
