Law and Safety for 2011-2012

Here is the first homework and the letter for parents:

August 23, 2011

Welcome Parents and Students!  Your student has entered the Career Academy at Round Rock High School.  We will be working on all kinds of programs this year and I am presenting classes in Law Enforcement for the 2011-2012 school year.  My goal is to find out what your student wants to learn and make it as interesting as possible while meeting what the State of Texas has set up as the Texas Education Knowledge Skills or (TEKS) for these courses. 

We will be reviewing very graphic novels and videos as well as attending the rifle range over the course of the year pertaining to the subjects we are studying.  Please be sure to sign for any student below who is not 18 or over at this time as required by RRISD policy.  I will post on the blog what videos we are using if you would like to keep track and their relationship to the course of study. They will have some homework and I will post a blog prior to giving the students the assignment so you can keep track of what is due but the majority of the class work will be in the classroom or on the campus grounds.

All students will need to bring:

A binder or Journal or Spiral notebook or folder to keep notes together in one place; Pencils and Pens as needed and a Highlighter, color of your choice

Teacher Schedule:

Monday to Friday            9am to 4pm        Classroom (or on) Duty, call for conference times  

Wednesday                        4pm to 6pm        Tutoring and or by appt.

Updates and Special Notes for classes will be made to:

Classroom Rules:

Students will not- bully, harass, chew gum, usage of a phone, curse, or IPod during class.  Students will follow the RRISD and RRHS Rules of Conduct in addition to classroom rules.  Students will be reminded once during class time for violations unless it is a criminal offense.
