Expectations

Be respectful- to each other and adults.

Be seated- stay in your assigned area

Be productive- stay on task and try your best!

Be clean- clean up after yourself and help each other maintain a clean, organized classroom.

PHONES- not permitted unless the teacher has asked you to get them out!

They are great, I love mine. However they are a huge distraction in the classroom and students rely too heavily on images they find online hindering their own personal observations and creativity. There is a class set of chrome books and a ratio of 2:1 students to desktop computers. In an emergency, students may use the class phone. If phones are out, they will be confiscated per district policy. Thank you for your support!
