Class Expectations...
*About 20 min to 45 min of homework weekly. Expect more if your child is not using in-class time effectively.
*Be prepared each day with the appropriate learning materials.
*Work is legible, neat, complete, and handed-in for grading on time.
*Work toward a positive "growth-mindset" 

*Participate in all areas of the curriculum to the best of your ability!

******Try your best to keep up with the demands of your grade level.******

*Work hard & have fun.
