Welcome |
| Welcome to the World History and U.S. History web site of Coach Drew Shelton. History is an exciting and integral part of our curriculum and of our daily lives. We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning and applying that learning to our world today. |
CLASS RULES |
1. Bring book, paper, and a pen/pencil to class everyday. Failure to bring your book will result in a zero (0) for that day.
2. Have pencils sharpened before the tardy bell rings.
3. Be on time. A second late is still late. You will be counted tardy.
4. Don't talk when you're not supposed to talk. I'm here everyday till 6:00 or later. Detention doesn't bother me.
5. Chewing gum is O.K. as long as you keep it to yourself. Don't blow bubbles, smack your gum, or have it hanging out your mouth.
6. Absolutely no eating or drinking in class. This also means before the tardy bell rings. If you have a drink bottle it better be in your book bag.
7. We will have some fun while we learn. High school is the easiest time of your life. Enjoy it while you can. |
