Class Rules

Mr. Stanton’s Class Rules for 2012-2013

Pay attention. Ask questions if you are confused. Make eye contact with the speaker.  

2. Be respectful to your peers, the school, and me.

Come to class on time and put electronic devices away.  Don’t write on school property.  Be nice to your peers (follow the Golden Rule.)

3. No whining, excuses or complaining

If you have a problem, address it with me.  Let me know beforehand if you think the homework is excessive or an assignment is unfair.  I will give you enough time to complete your assignments.  Do not wait until the last moment to complete long term assignments.
