THE ONE RULE TO REMEMBER
Punctual, prepared, listening, respectful — in the room and on screen.
Punctual Arrive before the start time. On Zoom, join five minutes early.
Prepared Bring the right stationery and your completed homework to every lesson.
Listening When the specialist or a classmate is speaking to the class, everyone else is quiet.
Respectful Treat everyone's ideas, belongings and time with respect.
