If you are interested in knowing your progress, you may schedule a one-on-one meeting with me before or after school or see me during class.

When a school-wide announcement is made

Please listen to the announcement quietly so we can all hear, and then return to the work at hand.

Responding to a fire drill/severe weather alert

Please remain calm and follow the instructions in your student handbook and those posted by the door.

When visitors are in the classroom

Please treat them with respect and keep busy or listen intently if they are there to speak to you.

If teacher is out of  classroom

If I do leave the room it would be when you are busy working on an assignment.  Therefore, we should have no disruptions because you will all know what to do, right?

Request for the Restroom

I will allow one a week, and only if you feel like you will have an internal explosion, unless, it is medically necessary for you to have frequent bathroom breaks.

If you are suddenly ill

If you feel like you will seriously vomit, please leave the room immediately and go to the restroom.  Thank you for sparing us the sight of your breakfast/lunch.

Saying “Please & “thank you”

Good manners will help get you far in the business world and in this class.  Show respect if you want respect.  Make requests not demands.
