The Final Month

Now that we are approaching the end of the school year I want to remind you of some important things:
  • Good behavior matters. At the end of each year some student seem to have the idea that they are immune to the consequences of their actions. I have recently had to speak with some students about dress code violations, tardies, and a lack of respect. The tardy policy, dress code, and classroom rules will be enforced through the end of school. I will be writing tickets for dress code and other violations in G-Wing and elsewhere.
  • Good grades matter. The last two tests have gone well for most of my students and I want to congratulate those with good grades. If your grades on the tests were poor do not count on the drops and the participation points. They matter less as more test grades are entered in the gradebook.
  • Please locate your textbook and prepare to return it to me. Wait until I call for it. If you cannot find your textbook you will have to pay for it.
  • Fun matters. I want you to have a positive experience in your final month at CMM. Help me to help you have a good final month by being well-behaved, respectful, punctual, and compliant with the CMM dress code.
