Tips for Success
Attend class
Be in your seat by the final bell
Complete daily assignment with quality
Review your days’ work (15minutes/class on average)
Complete homework
Remove personal distractions i.e. cell phone, mp3, food, other class work, your neighbor
(move seats if they distracts you)
Follow class structure i.e. Complete Bell Work, follow assignment directions, wait until
I have completed the directions/discussion to sharpen your pencil or ask to use the
restroom
Respect others; don’t talk while others have the “floor” / don’t put other opinions down,
respect others space and belongings.
Be prepared with paper and pencil/pen
Take charge of your own learning; ask questions, participate in discussions, set high
learning goals for yourself.
Follow MPS Code of Conduct guidelines.
