All rules of FHS and PSRC are expected to be followed and will be enforced. If you do not have a Student Handbook, please let me know and I will make sure you have one.
Essentials for these classes:
· Notebook or Binder (for daily journal keeping)
· Textbook (in the classroom)
· 3-Ring binder (for recipe book required to be completed and turned in by end of semester)
· Clear plastic sheet protectors (for Recipe Book)
· Writing tools (pen, pencil, etc.)
+ If you are absent from class, you must have a re-admission slip from the front office upon your return to class the following day.
+ More than 5 absences from class will make you ineligible to receive credit for any course.
+ A Hall Pass to leave class will only be given in case of emergencies. If there are medical reasons why you need to go to the restroom or to take medications, you should have a medical note from your doctor on file in the office and with the school nurse.
+ Your parent/guardian will be contacted through regular Progress Reports, Email, and/or phone calls.
Testing will come primarily, but not conclusively, from VoCATS (Vocational Competency Achievement Tracking System). VoCATS will be graded as objective mastery, competency mastery, and cumulative unit mastery. You are to complete assignments in class or as homework, pending on how they are assigned.
Grade breakdown:
A = 95 – 100 / B- = 85 – 86 / D+ = 75 – 76A- = 93 – 94 / C+ = 83 – 84 / D = 72 – 74
B+ = 91 – 92 / C = 80 – 82 / D- = 70 – 71
B = 87 – 90 / C- = 77 – 79 / F = below 69
+ You will receive notice when Unit Tests, Competency Tests, Objective Tests, Reviews, etc. will be assigned. There are also assignments for optional homework and extra credit online via the teacher’s website. You may also find links on those sites that will be helpful resources for this class.
+ You are expected to stay on task in the classroom. At no time can you sleep in class or put your head down on the table/books/etc.
(Continued on back)
+ You should not carry on personal conversations such that will disrupt class time or waste class time. This will not be tolerated.
+ The use of cell phones or pagers are not be allowed to be ON inside the classroom.
+ Since classes are to be held in the foods lab where the atmosphere should be sanitary at all times, there will be no tolerance of combing/brushing hair in the classroom at any time.
+ The use of perfumes or lotions in class will not be tolerated.
+ Your parents/guardians are welcome at any time to come for observations after they have checked in with the front office. My planning/conference period is 2nd period (9:45am – 11:00am) should they wish to contact the school to set up a conference with me. The school phone number is 628-6727.
Again, it is with pleasure that I welcome you to Fairmont High. I pledge to you a commitment to excellence through a high quality curriculum and environment conducive to learning and to your total development.
In order for us to grow harmoniously together, I ask that you commit yourself to being industrious, well focused, and practice good citizenship.
I encourage you to heighten your school pride, morale, spirit and enthusiasm. Channel your energy into the positive activities available to you. The student organization for this course is called FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) and you are encouraged to join and broaden your horizons to become an effective leader in today’s society as well as at home. You will receive more information regarding this student governed organization opportunity in class.
Together we can make this the best year ever!
