- Always strive for excellence. NO EXCUSES!
- Come to class on time, prepared with homework done and all supplies, ready to learn with a positive attitude.

2) Be Nice
- Respect teachers and other students.
- Help make the classroom a safe place where everyone can learn.
- Keep hands and objects to yourself and focus on learning.
