will discuss and clarify what respect looks like in class.

give that day. We will all have off days, but it’s important to
try our best.
Members of the class will arrive on time to class with all
needed materials.
The instructions for class will be on the board at the
beginning of class each day. Please come in prepared and
ready to learn.
Cell phones will be placed in the cell phone holder in the
back of the room for all tests and exams.
