Tools for success

How to Succeed and Thrive!

Attendance & Promptness

Get to class on time...students can miss a lot of important information at the beginning of class

If you miss a class, check the wiki to find out what you have missed...you are still responsible for the work and it should be done on time. http://earl1d.wikispaces.com

If you know you are going to be absent for a test, please make arrangements with me, before you are gone, to re-schedule a time to write it.
