Come prepared to class because you cant go
back to your locker.
Dont use a folder, get a binder.
Stay on top of your work, cuz if you fall behind
youre not coming back.
Never think you know the material
too well. Always study and be
prepared for tests and quizzes.
Study, work hard and do your
homework. You will hate
homework slips! If you aim for
an A, you will get an A.
