Student Conduct: The SWHS Code of Conduct will be followed and enforced. I encourage freethinking and viewpoints which do not necessarily match my own. However, Rudeness or lack of respect for other WILL NOT be tolerated. Learn an important rule: Disagree without being Disagreeable. Please note that students are EXPECTED to work to the best of their abilities. Failure to complete assignments on time, incomplete assignments and absences WILL lower the nine weeks and thus the semester grade.
