Guidelines for Success
Prepared– You will need your supplies for this class every day.
Respectful
On-Task
– Listen to and follow instructions.– Ask questions when you need to.
– Be willing to try your best on all assignments.– Be willing to try every assignment before you say
you cannot do it.
Be a seventh grade:
Present– At school– Dialed into the lesson
Ready to learn
Organized
– Try your best.– Ask questions when unsure.
– Keep agenda up-to-date.– Keep papers in the correct subject folder.– Keep locker tidy.
Be a seventh grade:
If you’re absent:
• While I hope that everyone is here every day of school, I know that being absent is sometimes unavoidable.
• It will be your responsibility to ask for the work that was missed.
• Assignments will be listed on the agenda board weekly. We will copy our weekly agenda every Monday at the beginning of class.
Late work:
• Certainly, everyone always turns their work in on time, but occasionally, bad things happen.
• If you miss a dead line, come talk to me about when you will be getting the assignment completed. “Not doing an assignment” is not an option.
