WRITING ASSIGNMENT

I, ___________________________ , understand that it is important to follow rules given

to me by my teachers and administrators at Pierce County High School. When I do

not follow directions I put myself and others in situations that could potentially

harm us. I also realize that it is my teacher’s responsibility to maintain classroom

management and to teach my fellow classmates. When I do become disruptive and

do not follow the rules that Pierce County High School has set forth for me, I am

causing conflict in the classroom as well as hindering the learning of my

classmates. I understand that there are consequences for my behavior and I will

have to abide by the rules.
