At Geneva School of Boerne, it is essential that students remain engaged while in the classroom. Your teachers approach each class with the expectation that students are there to learn and participate. If your attitude does not match this expectation, the entire educational process suffers. Patience and help are extended to those students who genuinely try but are having difficulty, but there is no patience for students who demonstrate an attitude that undermines the educational process for everyone.
In class, it should be apparent that a student is engaged. Expectations of the student are:
- Attend class with the proper materials (texts, notebooks, pen, etc.)
- Be prepared by having read or completed any assignments.
- Actively participate in class discussions.
- Show respect for the teacher and fellow classmates by not talking out of turn or being disruptive.
- Teachers may have particular policies regarding classroom behavior and etiquette. Be sure to observe these policies.
