I am excited to welcome you and


your student to our Chemistry
classroom. I graduated from
Georgia Tech with a bachelors
degree in Environmental
Engineering and after working in
that field attended Austin Peay
State University for my Masters in
Teaching. I am looking forward to
getting to know your child and
leading him or her to appreciating
the many interconnections of math
and science and their applications
in society.
If you have any questions, please

school office at (931) 648-5640.
Looking forward to a great year!

Class Rules
Students are expected to follow the Northeast High School
handbook code of conduct at all times during this class. In
addition to the handbook, I will expect the following of each
student:
1. Be prepared.
2. Be on time.
3. Be respectful.
4. No food, drinks, foul language, or electronic devices.
5. Follow directions.

Personal Management of Assignments


Other than excused absences assignments handed in at
any other time will not be accepted. Absent work will be
marked as zero (0) until turned in. Students will be given
two (2) passes at the beginning of each semester to use at
their discrepancy for exemption from a homework
assignment. The pass must be handed in at the time the
assignment is collected. Unused homework passes turned
in at the end of the semester will be counted as extra
credit on the students final exam.

Discipline Consequences
Minor infractions:

1st offense: Verbal warning.


2nd offense: Reflective assignment and parent phone
call.
3rd offense: Referral to the office for principal
intervention

Major infractions: immediate referral.
