Classroom Rules and Procedures:
Bienvenue! I’m happy you are here! I encourage you to try your hardest, complete your homework and projects, and ask for help when needed. It is important that you understand my expectations of you as well as your own rights and expectations of me.
It is my responsibility to provide you with an atmosphere in which you are best able to learn. You will succeed in this class if you are prompt, prepared, polite, on task and if you participate.
I look forward to helping you this year. Should you have any questions, concerns I prefer to be contacted via email. I usually respond within one day. You are responsible for your actions as well as your education. You will be held accountable! I am confident you all will succeed if you set your mind to it.
