Welcome to Mrs. White's Classroom !!

I hope that you are ready for this school year!  Get ready to learn a lot this year in 9th grade math.  I am delighted to have you as a member of my class.  In order to have a successful school year, we all must start off on the right foot. You deserve the most positive educational climate possible for academic growth.  To achieve this goal, I would like you to familiarize yourself with the following school rules and policies.

  In the classroom, students  are to...    

... be polite to teachers and peers   ... move appropriately throughout the room  ...follow directions  ...be honest  ...have all materials needed  ...use calm voices  ...remain in your area    
         

I firmly believe that life-long success depends on self-discipline and self-control.  Each student has the opportunity to manage his/her own behavior. If these rules are followed, we are going to have a great and productive year together.
