You are expected to BE HERE and ON TIME!

miss out on information, discussions, and the experiences that will make you
successful.

You are expected to BE RESPECTFUL.
You do not have to like everyone to treat them with respect as people. Use forms of
speech that would be appropriate in a professional setting. Any violence, taunting, or
bullying will not be tolerated.
You are to BE PREPARED.
You will need a writing utensil, planner, charged Chromebook, and anything else you
need to get through the day. If you must borrow from me, you will need to trade with me.
You are expected to BE PRODUCTIVE.
