 * Be sure to get your mentor's signature on your attendance log. Fill in completely!
 * Arrange for time to teach a lesson with your mentor. Be sure to let me know when you are scheduled. If someone is already scheduled on that day, you will need to switch. If two are scheduled on the same day, both must be at the same school / different times.
 * Be respectful of each other - get to the bus on time, don't make everyone wait on you!
 * Communicate!
