4 B’s of Success

Expectations

Respect yourself: by taking ownership of your learning and completing assignments on time and fulfilling the requirements to your best ability. Be on time, attend school regularly, have materials ready, and take on a positive mindset for learning. Be honest and complete your own work. Cheating or plagiarizing is not tolerated. Taking a file of another students work, taking a photo of other students work, or copying work from another student is cheating.
Respect others: by what you say and how you treat them face to face or through social media, and in private. When working in teams, do your part to help the team succeed.
