Student Expectations
- Take responsibility for your own learning. Ask questions and seek extra help if
you do not understand. I am here to help you succeed. If I don’t know you need
help, I can’t help you.
o This also includes seeing me for missed material if you’re absent.
- Be accountable for your own actions. If you mess up, fess up. I will have a lot
more respect for you at the end of the day if you’re honest with me.
- Respect yourself, others and property.
- Come to class prepared.
- If you are missing a class due to any pre-planned absence (ie. Field trip, family
holiday, extracurricular commitment, etc), any assignments known to be due
during that absence are to be handed in before the absence occurs.

Late/Missed Assignment Policy
1) Projects are progressive and cannot be made up at the end of the year. If lack of
participation or absences are prevalent then a failing grade may result.
2) If a student misses an assignment because of an excused absence it is their
responsibility to get the assignment from the teacher and complete it.
