Check to see if it is something that is already in the class. If not, wait until there is a good time to ask Ms. Rentz to get it.

Before class starts or during work time. Never sharpen your pencil when Ms. Rentz is talking- that's rude.

No, all food and drinks need to be consumed while in the Cafe?

We will line up SILENTLY and follow Ms. Rentz out the field doors and line up away from the building.
