Attendance:
The award of credit in this class is subject to the conditions outlined in the Bingham High School Attendance Policy.
As with all classes, it is imperative that you attend all classes on time daily. If a student arrives more than 10 minutes late, they must check in with the attendance office and be considered Way Late, which counts as an unexcused absence.
· Participation, Grades, Attendance and Tardy Policy
This is a participation class, and you are expected to be here every day. Up to 10 Participation points may be earned each day by attending on time, being attentive, respectful and completing the assigned work.
Disrespect, tardiness, absences, sleeping, eating outside food, breaking class rules, wandering around, leaving the kitchen messy, etc. will also be subject to deduction of 5-10 participation points daily. Attendance School will not make up for lost participation points. Excused absence participation points may be earned by reading a current article about the topic covered in class, and writing a one page summary attached to the article.
· Class Work Policy
In addition to Participation Points, credit will be given for in class assignments. Completed work assignments turned in at the end of class will receive full credit. Students may make up missed work for Excused absences only. Homework and projects are due on the due date for full credit. Copying and other forms of cheating will not be tolerated and students will not receive ANY credit for that assignment and not be allowed to be made up.
Class work and labs missed on a day when a student has an excused absence, will be accepted without penalty one week following the student’s return. After one week, it is late and will receive 50%. After a month, or the unit test, whichever comes first, work will not be accepted and receive 0 points.
If a student is not excused, they may not make up work.
It is the student’s responsibility to obtain missed work. They can do that by, checking my website, https://sites.google.com/a/jordandistrict.org/woodwardbhsfacs/,
or by visiting me when I’m not actively teaching other students to pick up papers. A student must read or participate in an equivalent activity for the time missed, and not copy others work and turn it in on time. If there is an extended excused absence, please request work early from the attendance office or check with the administration for “Home and Hospital” eligibility, and I will arrange alternate activities.
Students are expected to keep their returned work to study for exams, and it is their responsibility to check their marks on skyward weekly to prove any discrepancies within one week.
Tests will be given at the end of each unit of study. Missed tests can be made up by appointment within one week of the test date after or before school. There will be a mandatory state competency test given at the end of the semester which will count as the final exam for 100 points.
· Remind: I will use remind a simple private text messaging and e-mail reminder to send students reminders of important information, dates and assignments. Students and parents may sign up by phone or e-mail
· Extra Credit opportunities are rare and may be awarded for perfect attendance and passing the state competency exam.
· Class Fee:
There will be a $15.00 class fee charged for each foods class the student is enrolled in. This is to help with the cost of groceries and supplies needed for the class. This fee is to be paid in the main office and the receipt given to Mrs. Woodward for 10 points due by the end of the 2nd week of the semester for full points.
· Labs
Students will be participating in a lab experience one to two times each week.
Labs will be evaluated according to, following instructions, working together, product quality, and cleanup. Missed labs can be made up by making the same recipe at home and bringing me a signed make up lab note from parent and sending me a picture on phone, email or printed of you making the product.
Labs participation is a privilege and can be denied due to poor behavior.
