Welcome!

I would like to welcome your child to my class and I hope this will be a most successful year for all of us. When e-mailing me, please put your child’s name and period in the subject line. When possible PLEASE e-mail instead of calling.

The following information includes guidelines for classroom procedures that are important for you and your child:

Be on time for class. You should be in your assigned seat, ready to begin work, with pencils already sharpened when the tardy bell rings.
You should come to class with required classroom materials, homework, and a book for recreational reading. Students should check the Promethean board and homework board when entering the classroom and begin working right away.
All assignments must be turned in on time. Refer to the RMS Work Recovery Policy.
PLEASE CHECK THE PARENT PORTAL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO KEEP MY WEBSITE UP TO DATE. HOWEVER THE FINAL WORD ON ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE WHAT IS STATED IN CLASS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR STUDENT’S AGENDA.
Arrangements for make-up assignments or work missed due to an absence must be made on the first day the student returns to school after the absence. The student is responsible for obtaining his / her assignments. If an assignment was made prior to an absence that assignment is due the day the student returns.
