Dress Code
Students will need to familiarize themselves with the School-wide Dress Code, and it must be adhered to in my classroom. It will be enforced (discretely - I do not want to embarrass anyone). It is the student's responsibility to know what the dress code entails. There are posters around the school, and more detailed instructions can be found on the school handbook (near the end):
General Class Rules:
Learn them, you should.
Live them, you must.
Love them, you will.
1. Be Prompt
-
Be to class on time.
-
VHMS tardy policies will be enforced.
-
Turn your work in by the deadlines (try to turn work in early)
2. Be Polite
-
Respect others and their property.
-
Be kind, be considerate, and be helpful.
-
Follow the rules.
-
If it's not yours, don't touch it.
3. Be Prepared
-
Have required materials in class every day
-
Be prepared to work every day
-
Have completed work ready to turn in
Students, I expect you to come to class each day with everything that is needed and required. If you have finished all assignments to date, you are responsible to have something productive to do, such as:
-
reading a book
-
doing homework from another class
-
studying notes for quizzes or tests
Doodling, flipping through your planner, shuffling through your backpack, sleeping, staring off into space, wandering around the room, chatting, and being disruptive are NOT considered productive uses of class time.
Coming to class unprepared may result in a loss of participation points, which will affect your academic grade, and I will find something for you to do that will likely be less appealing to you. It could also affect your citizenship grade if it becomes a regular occurrence.

Here is one of my favourite quotes
that all of us might do well to consider:
"If you don't have time to do it right,
when will you have time to do it over?"
- John Wooden
