Consequently, our classroom rules reflect these rights and encourage you to emulate the behaviors of a model citizen.
1. Be respectful. Treat your teacher and fellow students with politeness and respect. Speak in a normal tone of voice, and listen attentively. No swearing, teasing, rude remarks, rude gestures, or put downs.
2. Be prompt and prepared for class each day. Be ready to learn when class begins. Have materials with you and know due dates. Students are not expected to waste class time going to lockers or asking for loans of class materials.
