Be Responsible . . . Be Respectful . . . Be Safe!

Seahawk Scoop

from The End of Molasses Classes, by Ron Clark

Speak with the teacher first before contacting the principal (or dean). The first question the principal (dean) will ask is if you spoke with the teacher about the matter, and if you didnt it will reflect negatively on your part. Follow procedures and give the teacher a chance to remedy the situation first .
