These guidelines and procedures have been developed in order to ensure that things run smoothly and efficiently each and every day in the classroom. The classroom is a shared learning environment and all students (and teachers) should be respectful of the needs and rights of those around them. Please review these and make sure to follow them every day in Miss Shelton's classroom.
