3. BEING PUNCTUAL TO CLASS IS VERY IMPORTANT. BEGINNING THIS WEEK I WILL BE RECORDING TARDIES IN OUR SYSTEM, THIS WILL RESULT IN SCHOOL-LEVEL CONSEQUENCES.
4. I will be having a random notebook check this week, to make sure everyone is getting notes, labs & bellworks going. This should be an easy 100 for you. (If you don't have a 3 subject spiral, you need to get one. If this is a problem for you & your family, please speak with me and we will get it solved.)
