"In the event of my absence, you are to conduct yourselves with integrity, respect and discipline. Do not embarrass me, yourself, the substitute, the school, the district or your upbringing. You are to complete all assigned tasks the day I am out, assist and respect the sub and look after one another. After all, I don't give grades, I write down what you earn." ~ms. d
