Student Responsibilities
It is my personal philosophy that
students can succeed if given the
opportunity. The course will be
structured for success, but it is the
child’s responsibility to:
*ask for help
*keep up with assignments
*be prepared
*follow rules & procedures
*put forth best effort
*keep a non-disruptive classroom
