4. Be active in class. Don’t just sit there!!! Ask questions, suggest ideas, and be prepared for class discussions!!
5. After 1st period there will not be any drinks or food allowed in my room.
6. Cheating of any kind will result in a zero on the assignment and a C in citizenship.


Tutoring
3:40-4:00 3:40-4:30 M/W
Tutoring is not mandatory, however, it is helpful for students to ask questions sometimes in order to stay ahead. I am not available after school at all times due to the fact that I coach three sports. If you will try to schedule a time with me, I will definitely arrange a meeting time.
