Text
I will not issue the textbook. It is hazardously enormous, and when placed in the book bag, snack size students tip over. I rarely use it anyway. If you need to take one home you may check one out. If you have internet access, the link to the online textbook is located here and on the tour schedule.

Pack well for your journey.
Supplies must be replenished as needed.
Pencils
Eraser/eraser caps
Loose-leaf (lined paper with holes)
A Flash Drive
1" Binder to keep in class
To help stock the room:
1 pack of colored paper to keep in the classroom (for art), Markers, 64 Box of Crayons, glue sticks, glue, box of tissues, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes (generic is ok)
Poster board and other materials may be needed throughout the year.
Students will establish a Google account to create and store work and collaborate. I will accept PowerPoint, Brochures, and other documents by email. Reports, Pictures, and projects done on Google Docs are saved online and able to be accessed anywhere there is internet. Flash drives are easily lost, but are necessary to transfer information where
there is no internet.
Parents BEWARE!
This is the information age and guidance in proper use of technology is
extremely important for life and career prep. Please make sure you have the ID
and password for all of your student’s online activities and social networking.
Check them frequently. Privacy is a great ideal, but children need guidance and
supervision. Remember YOU are the parent and you know best.
All Ye Ill and other deserters!
Nothing is as good as being in class, but I understand things
do happen (on rare occasions). You are responsible for getting notes and making up work. Extra assignments are located in the extra’s bin. I
will work with you to make up tests and quizzes.

Walking the plank
CHEATING AND DISHONESTY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. STUDENTS CAUGHT CHEATING OR
ALLOWING ANOTHER STUDENT TO COPY FROM THEIR WORK WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THAT
GRADE AND WILL NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE UP THE GRADE. BEHAVIOR BECOMING
OF A YOUNG MAN OR WOMAN IS EXPECTED AT ALL TIMES.
Ship’s Rules
Have all of your supplies and be ready to work when the class bell rings.
Bring ONLY what you need. No bookbags in class.
Discern right from wrong and follow through.
Be respectful of other’s belongings and personal space.
Listen to and follow the teacher’s directions.
Work without disturbing others, whether we are working individually or in groups.
Build respect toward one another in the classroom by showing kindness and giving guidance.
Do NOT accept poor behavior in others and do NOT require acceptance of your poor manners, behavior, or decisions.
All RVMS rules and procedures will be followed in my class, including
behavior policies, tardy policy and dress code. Please consult your agenda for
specifics!
WELCOME ABOARD!
I look forward to a great experience with all the students and
their families this year!
