Classroom Expectations Come to class on time and prepared! Make sure you walk into class with your homework completed and the required materials. Respect your classmates, yourself, your teacher(s), and school property. Meaning there is a ZERO Tolerance Policy for demeaning, derogatory, or destructive attitudes and behaviors towards teachers or classmates. Always try your best! Always enter Room 21 with a positive attitude! Delete ALL social media apps from your iPad before walking into your homeroom. *If your child follows these expectations, we will have a wonderful school year!
