Teacher Creed
There are three things
that you need to know
about me before I tell
you how the classroom
works.
1. As your teacher I will
not tolerate any
student in this
classroom stopping me
from teaching for any
reason whatsoever.
IOW: please don’t take up my time with personal
questions or get me side tracked when we
have work to do 
2. As your teacher I will not
tolerate any student in this
classroom stopping
another student from
learning for any reason
whatsoever.
Examples of this may include side talking, name
calling and put-downs, and touching other
student’s materials. These behaviors will not
be tolerated in the classroom. (rule #4)
3. As your teacher I will not
tolerate any student in this
classroom doing anything
that is not in your best
interest or the best
interest of the class.
This includes coming to class tardy and
coming to class unprepared. These
things are not in your best interest nor
are they in the best interest of the class.
I am a member of this class; there are
two things you never do to me:
1. No manipulations
-”This is too hard. I can’t do it.”
-”We’ve already done this before.”
-”There isn’t enough time to do this.”
2. Never question my management system
when I am teaching.
-If I say, “John, I need you to change
seats.” Your response is simply, “OK.”
-If I say, “Gina, I need you to open your
book.” Your response is simply, “OK.”
**If you have a question, see me at the end during pre-dismissal. There
is no time during the class time for you to question why.
Questioning the teacher in front of others is a manipulation. I will
never ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do.**
Academic Expectations
• Grades are determined by
A-B-C-D-F
• Grades of D & F are unacceptable
• To receive an A, B, or C:
a. Be in class, on time, everyday,
follow directions, are prepared and
ready to learn.
b. Give your best daily – be
complete in your work.
If these two criteria are met, the
student will never get a grade lower
than a C.
Academic Expectations

Absent Work: school policy – you have one day plus
the number of days absent to make up the work –
find it in the folder in the back of the room –
check online – see me at pre-dismissal
Late Work: Assignments are to be turned in on
time – late work will only be accepted by freshmen
1st semester one day late for ½ credit
Class Work: to be done in class and completed in
the time given
Home Work: to be done outside of the school day
DO NOT COPY OR CHEAT – all students

have suspicious attendance I will
investigate and refer you to your dean or
Mr. Alexander (truancy officer) if
necessary.
When a student indicates the need to
have parents involved, I expect the
parents to be in my classroom and team
players with me in the best interest of
the student.
In & Out Log
If you enter class after the bell,
tardy or with a pass, there are
five things you need to do:
1. Don’t disrupt me or other

students
Sign the log – all parts
Go directly to your seat
Quietly get into the lesson
See me at pre-dismissal (if
tardy)
Homework Expectations
• Homework will be given when needed for additional
work or preparation. The student will know how to
do the homework due to the work done in class.
• Class work is class work – not
•
homework.
When I give homework, I expect it
done and completed when
requested. If this does not occur,
I will speak to the student, and the
work will be expected to be
completed. If the situation occurs
frequently, parents will become
involved.
• Take advantage of Bloom’s After School
Tutoring/Homework Lab in the library 2:55-4:00
Basic Ground Rule
* The first time something
comes to my attention, I
speak with the student.
* A second occurrence, I
contact the parents.
If you succeed at
Bloom, you will
succeed at life!
What is your goal? 
I want to welcome
all of you to my
class. I’m glad that
all of you are in my
class this year. I’m
looking forward to
this year as your
teacher.
