Class expectations

• Attendance is a critical ingredient for success.
  For planned absences (doctors, dentists,
  excursions, sports, etc.) talk to me BEFORE you
  are absent. This may be done in person, by email,
  or over the phone.
• Be on time, be prepared, and be on task. You are
  tardy if you are not in your seat when the bell
  rings. Pencil sharpening should be done BEFORE
  the tardy bell unless special permission has been
  granted during the classwork time.  Multiple
  tardies will result in detention.
