Family & Consumer Science Expectations and Procedures

  1. Be prepared to work every day.  Always bring your own pen/pencil, paper,  book,  supplies for projects, etc.
  2. Demonstrate respect for yourself and others.  This applies to both your speech and your actions.
  1. Take care of restroom needs between classes. 
  2. All rules that are expressed in the Student Handbook apply while in the classroom setting.  Please pay particular attention to the guidelines concerning dress. Cell phones will be taken up if seen or heard in the room -  No exceptions.


Every student who walks through my door can  be successful in class.  It will take effort and work on your part.  Do what is required each day and the weeks/semesters will take care of themselves.  It is your job to KEEP UP with    due dates and assignments.

Grading Policy

Major Grades will earn 50% of the semester average.  Tests and projects will earn a major test grade(s). Other types of assignments may be used as major grades - if so you will always be told in advance.

Daily grades will earn the remaining 50%. These grades will be homework, daily work, group participation, lab work, etc.
Daily quiz grades will be recorded as two daily grades.
Daily late work will not be accepted.

Projects that earn test grades will not be accepted after the third day they are late.  There will be an automatic 30 point penalty.

Make Up Work
If absent, find out what was missed. This should be done before or after school. Check the school web page for my lesson plans.    Work should be completed according to the guidelines below.


Daily assignments or tests will result in zeros if not completed in  the allotted time. If there are unusual circumstances see me to make other arrangements.

1    absence = 1 day to get work made up

2    day absence = 2 days to get work in

3    days absence = deadline set by teacher

"When am I ever going to REALLY use this? " isn't something I get asked a lot as a teacher of family and consumer science.  Skills are generally learned today and used tomorrow (if not today!) Courses are designed to give young adults the tools they need to face the challenging roles of family member, wage earner and community leader. Between family, school, work, and community involvement everyone is a bit stretched these days. That's where these classes come in.  My goal is to help each individual become more confident in their abilities while mastering skills that will have big payoff both now and for years to come.  Check out our courses-there's something on the menu for everyone!


 



A    La  Carte  Course  Selections



Personal & Family Development: ( two semesters 9-12th grade)

Definitely the "samplers platter"- students get a slice of each course offered from the main menu.  Fast paced and fun describe this foundational class which covers the basics of child care & development, family dynamics, clothing selection and care, food preparation , nutrition,  personal success, interior design and management.  It's an ideal first class to get a taste of what  family & consumer science is all about.  Most students definitely come back for a second helping of more specialized classes listed below.



Food Science and Nutrition :( one semester 10-12th grade)

Live off junk food? Think a balanced diet is driving through Taco Bell, Sonic and Burger King all in one evening? Ever wonder why you have no energy and are having trouble with your weight...too much or not enough? Are your cooking skills limited to boxed macaroni & cheese, Ramin noodles and jello? Welcome to Food Science & Nutrition! This class is packed with what you need to choose a healthy diet and lifestyle that can make a difference in how you look and feel.  Lab practice and demonstrations provide hands on food labs.  By the way.....did I mention we eat those lab practices and demos?

BAM!!!
