You must have them here every day for credit. Do not expect others to provide for you. Do not ask to borrow!

Be Responsible.

Expectations or…

Read the information for the missed day. Assignments will be posted on the blog or the portal

You may print off any worksheets necessary and watch any power points from that site.

Then if you have any questions, please see me. Please write “absent” on the top of any assignments

done from an excused absence so that you will receive full credit for them.

Make-up work from absences must be done within 2 weeks from the date of the absence unless other arrangements have been made.

No make up work accepted for truancies!

What if I am “spacey” and turn in my work late? Regular late assignments not due to absence

will be accepted for 75% credit the first week late,

50% credit after that until the final due date for the quarter.

What if I forget to pay my $15.00 lab fee? There is a $15.00 lab fee for consumable

foods that must be paid in order to participate in the labs.

Book work will be given to those not participating in the labs to make up for the lab points.

Grades will be given based on points from tests, class work, homework, and extra credit. The break down for grades is as follows: 100% and above =A+, 99-94%=A, 93-90%=A-, 89-87%=B+, 86-83%=B, 82-80%=B-, 79-75%=C+, 74-70%=C, 69-65%= C- 64-60%= D+, 59-54%=D, 53-50% D-, 49% and below =F.

What if I don’t like my grade on the tests I take? Tests may be retaken as many times as you

would like during the EO hour for a better grade. You will always receive the best grade.

What if I want to use my cell phone or other electronic devices?

Cell phones and electronic devices are very disruptive to the class atmosphere and may present privacy and honesty issues. Therefore, I do not allow students to use them in my class without permission. If a student has one out it will be taken to the office until after class. You may retrieve it from the administration.

What if I want to do extra credit?

There will be a limit to the number of extra credit points that can be earned.

You may earn 10% of your grade in extra credit.

Extra credit must be turned in no later than the final due date for the term.

Extra credit points can be earned by:

1. FCCLA member attending an FCCLA activity. 2. Extra cooking at home with a signed

note. (10 points each time you cook)

List the date, what was cooked and if

it was cleaned up afterwards and have your parents sign it.

3. Reading an article that pertains to foods and nutrition and writing a summary report on it.
