As we enter into this 11th grade year it is imperative that you realize that you need to take responsibility for your actions. You will be learning to make responsible choices whether it is in school, at home or in public. Every student deserves to be in a classroom where he or she can excel and make positive strides in their education. In my classroom there will be certain standards that you will need to adhere to in order to make this a successful year.
