CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

When to see me-

End of class, after school or during my planning periods (1/2A and 3/4B). If you cannot meet me then, just see me and we will work out a time.

Restroom- We will be using the Sabre Pass app on the iPads to manage passes. You will receive 4 restroom passes for each nine weeks. Please do not ask to use these during instructional time unless it is an emergency. If you do not use them during the nine weeks, they may be turned in for extra credit.

Materials- You will need to come to class with your iPad (make sure that it is charged!), notebook, paper, and writing utensils. You may also (but are not required to) bring in your own fabric for your sewing project.

Make Up Work Policy- If you are absent, check the make up clip-board (or web page) to see what you missed and get any papers that you need out of the make up bin. You are responsible for getting the work you missed and turning it in on time. You have the number of days that you were absent plus one to make up all missed work. *Please write ABSENT on top of all papers you are turning in late because of your absence. If you have questions see me before or after class.

Missing a Cooking Lab-

If you are absent on a lab day, I will not count a grade for you for that lab. If you miss more than one lab day, then the lab must be made at home and a lab make-up form must be filled out. You will also be required to submit a picture of your finished product as proof that you actually made the recipe.

Power of I - If you fail a major test, you must retest until you pass with a 70 or higher. Retests should be taken as soon as possible. See me to schedule a time to retest. Power of I assignments must be made up each quarter or they will revert back to the grade that you previously earned.

Substitute Teachers- When you are with a substitute teacher, ALL CLASS RULES STILL APPLY. I always ask subs to leave me detailed notes and will respond with rewards or consequences as necessary.

Working in groups- In this class you will frequently work in groups. Some of the groups I will establish and some you will. Whenever you are working in groups, remember that everyone has a job and no one is to leave the work to someone else. Your grade is based on your individual work and the entire group’s work.

Extra Credit

You may earn up to 30 points each 9 weeks.

Each activity below counts 10 points.
