Hello. Welcome to my page. I look forward to teaching your child this school year. Let me tell you a little about myself. This is my 3rd year at Jay M. Robinson and my 8th year teaching in CMS. I have taught High School English (9th grade) at Harding University High School. I moved here from Buffalo, NY with a degree from Buffalo State College in Secondary English Education. I taught in Buffalo, NY for 2 years prior to my arrival here in Charlotte. I am also a candidate for my National Boards in Teaching.
I feel that with my confidence and knowledge of content, your child will learn amazing things that they can take with them for the rest of their academic careers.
If you need to get in touch with me, please call : (980)343-6944 and leave a message. I am very prompt with returning messages within a 24 hour window.

Office Hours:

Materials Needed:
English Language Arts:
**Please note that Jay M. Robinson uses Chromebooks (school provided) for most of our daily instruction, and all lessons and assignments will be posted on Google Classroom.**
Please note that if you are absent, the first place you must look is on Google Classroom to find out if you have missed any homework assignments.
Classroom Expectations: To ensure a safe, equal learning space for all students, every student needs to:
BE READY:
Be in your seat ready to work when the bell rings; Participate in class and be an active learner; No heads on the desks; No slouching; No sleeping ; No food, snacks or drinks (except water).
BE RESPECTFUL:
Have a positive attitude; Respect your classmates, me as your teacher, and yourself; Words and behavior that are hurtful, offensive or demeaning to others will not be tolerated; Respect and value the opinions and perspectives of your peers, and they will do the same for you. Follow directions the first time they are given. No talking or movement about the classroom unless directed to do so by the teacher.
BE RESPONSIBLE:
Come to class and be on time. Bring all assignments and supplies. Seek help when you need it. Provide help when you can. Turn OFF and LEAVE your cell phones, electronic games and iPods in your backpacks. Depending on the lesson, there will be time for you to use your own technology.
What if I choose to ignore these expectations?
If a student chooses not to follow behavior and academic expectations of Mr. Lampert and the Academic Standards & Standards of Conduct handbook, he or she will be subject to the following:
Step One- Verbal Warning
Step Two – Teacher/Student Conference and lunch detention with parent contact. After 3 lunch detentions, as per school policy, the student will receive an after school detention.
Step Three – Parent Contact (which may include conference) with an Administrative Referral (depending on the incident).
I am a firm believer in the ‘3 strikes you’re out’ system. KNOW THESE STEPS! MEMORIZE THEM!
Will I be rewarded for good behavior?
It is important that students remember this is a learning environment and behavior should reflect that. Students, who follow all expectations, will be rewarded in several ways. More than anything, you will be ready for success in the real world. Each expectation is crafted after proper behavior in any academic, work or social setting. Exceptionally good behavior will be rewarded in the following ways:
- Regular praise and recognition
- Student of the Month
- Positive notes, feedback and phone calls
- Self satisfaction for a job well done
My promise to you:
I feel that with my confidence and knowledge of content, your child will learn amazing things that they can take with them for the rest of their academic careers.
