Discipline and Citizenship
Citizenship is graded as follows:
H- Honorary
S- Satisfactory
N- Needs Improvement
U- Unsatisfactory
Your citizenship grade will be based on in-class behavior and tardiness. If I have to ask you to be quiet or sit in your seat a lot, you can expect to receive an N for your citizenship. If I have to ask you to be quiet or sit in your seat a whole lot, you will receive a U. Also, 3 tardies = N, 5 tardies = U. In my classroom you must be in your seat when I take roll at the beginning of class in order to not be counted as tardy. Please try to be on time and be respectful when you are here and we will have a great class!
If you need special accommodations of any kind, please let me know. The best way for students and parents to contact me is through e-mail at:
