Let them know from the get go
Be clear on your goals from day one.
Valerie,
So important. How do you make your goals clear for your students on the first day? Thanks for your input on this.

i am very forward in addressing the class rules, goals, and expectations. I give dates and deadlines for projects on the first day and discuss consequences for non compliance of class policies. I find that discussing these boundaries lets the students know what is required and expected of them,and helps to give them structure in their learning environment.
Lance,
This is what a learning leader should do and you are with this approach. You are setting a professional tone for your students and this translate to how they will see the class being conducted.
