Things you CAN bring into the classroom
A cell phone that you know how to operate. You must know how to turn off the ringer and how to turn off all audible alerts
Your own favorite coffee or morning beverage. At most locations, we will be served office or hotel quality coffee that will never meet our individual “Starbucks” order standards.
A quick, healthy snack
At times, the temperature of the room is beyond our control. If you run cold, bring a jacket. If you run hot, dress in layers.
