Letter to Students
Dear Students,
…What you can expect from me…
- In my classroom, you can expect me to be fair and consistent. I will treat everyone as an individual, but I will treat everyone equally.
- I will respect you and the faculty and staff of the entire school; I will not gossip about other students or faculty to them or around them. This lowers my credibility and makes me look foolish.
- You can expect me to care about your personal well being. This includes emotional, physical, and academic well being. I want you to do well in life.
- You can expect me to maintain safety and security. By keeping discipline problems at a minimum, I can help you feel safer within my classroom and the school itself.
- You can expect me to challenge you. No one demands students to rise to low expectations. By challenging you, you will meet my high expectations of you.
…What I expect from you…
- I expect you to read and follow all instructions given in this packet of information. And to ask questions regarding anything you do not understand.
- I expect you to be ready to learn. This includes being prepared for class. It also includes coming to class with an open mind.
- I want you to follow all rules but especially to respect both your fellow classmates and me. This kind of environment facilitates good behavior and learning.
- You should be ready for a challenge and should be ready to challenge. I want you to make up your mind about a subject.
We are going to have a FABULOUS year! I certainly invite you to reach for the BEST IN YOU!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Richey
