Respect -yourself and others

Responsibility-for your own actions

Readiness- to learn

Since students are filtering both in and out of the general education classroom, there are often many assignments and tasks occurring at one time. Our goal is to prioritize assignments and tasks so that each student is given assignments to strengthen their individual needs

Students are given time in school to ask any questions pertaining to homework and assignments. If students are unable to do their homework for the following day, they are to have a note from a parent/guardian so that additional time and assistance may be given. If a student DOES NOT have a note, the student is encouraged to stay during their “free” time to complete any missing assignments.

Any questions regarding this policy please feel free to contact me

- To create an environment that fosters independent learning

-  Maintain a  positive working relationship among student, teacher, and staff
