Note Taking Expectations

• Date page.

• Copy as completely as you can from the board.

• Let teacher know if you do not finish copying notes or are having problems with copying from the board.

• If you are absent, in the bathroom, or out of the classroom for any reason, you are responsible for getting the notes you might miss.

• Notes should be legible so you can study from them.

• Students should not be distracted by doodling in their spirals. 

• Pen should be used for all subjects, except math should be done in pencil.

• Cursive is encouraged at all times.

• Save a tree!  Write on both sides of the page.
