Consequences
One verbal warning will be given and then a violation, which will result in a detention. Frequent violations will result in a call home and possibly a conference with both the parent and the student.
Teacher Availability
A phone message is the best way to reach me; I will return phone calls within 24 hours. I do not check my e-mail daily, but rather every other day or every third day. |
