2012-13 CLASS
EXPECTATIONS
Set yourself up for success this year by taking more
responsibility for your own learning and growth. Aim to make the right choices for yourself,
not anyone else. Listen, follow
instructions and complete your tasks on time because you feel it’s important to
you and your learning as a student. Aim
to motivate yourself. Put forth your
best effort and believe in yourself.
In the interest of developing your organizational skills,
keep your binder tidy ensuring all handouts are filed under the appropriate tab
divider so you know where things are at all times. Note any important reminders in your agenda
on a daily basis. Use your task tracker
to ensure no assignment remains incomplete.
Being absent does not exempt you from any task or test – find out what
you missed and complete it with teacher support.
Complete your tasks in full and submit them by the due
date. Focus on a task from start to
finish with minimal distraction. Should
you need an extension ask your teacher before the due date, not after. Assignments can be handwritten or typed on Microsoft
Word, saved to a memory stick to print at school, burnt to a cd-rom or
e-mailed. Remember that handing
something in by the due date is better than handing in nothing at all. You will not always be reminded or
prompted. Always ask your teacher for
clarification and support when needed to complete any task.
There is a time and place for everything: a time to listen, a time to talk, a time to
work and a time to play – know the difference, apply the skill in the given
situation.
Demonstrate good character towards and respect for your
teachers and peers – treat others as you wish to be treated. Respect the personal space and belongings of
others. If you do not have something positive
or encouraging to say, keep it to yourself – be a leader, not a follower. Work constructively and cooperatively with
others – do your part and respectfully share ideas.
