CONTENT CTE Introduction is Utah’s introductory level of Career and Technical Education Core Curriculum required for junior high school students. It is designed to help 7th grade learners explore various careers. The activity-based course is taught by two teachers, Ms. Lloyd & Mrs. Thorngren, and the counselor, Ms. Perrin. It is a full year course broken up into semesters.
SUPPLIES Paper and a pen/pencil are required every day.
A three-ring binder will be given to the student with some worksheets. This binder will be used throughout the year. Students are strongly advised to keep it in the classroom. If a student loses their binder, they will need to supply their own. A fee will be charged for replenishing worksheets that were supplied in the student’s lost binder, which will be paid at the office.
EXPECTATIONS DO be in assigned seat when the bell rings. DO be prepared - supplies, reading book, and a smile.J
DO follow directions and keep a positive attitude. DO be respectful, responsible, & cooperative.
DO follow the AUP for computers- respect equipment. DO follow school rules outlined in planner.
(No eating/drinking around computers.)
HOMEWORK Students will be assigned homework when needed.
GRADES Academic grades will be based on notes, assignments, and quizzes. Student’s grade is determined from a percentage of the total points calculated. Check portal often for student’s progress.

EXTRA CREDIT Extra credit is RARELY given in this class.
LATE WORK POLICY All work is expected to be turned in on the due date set by the teacher. The teacher will establish a final cut off date for each mid-term and end-of-the-term. All work will receive full-credit up to that final cut off date.
MAKEUP WORK It is the student’s responsibility to take care of work missed while absent. Check my blog for curriculum and assignments done during absence. All work is expected to be in by the final cut-off date whether absent or not.
PASSES/LIFESAVERS Students are allowed three passes each term. Each pass can be used for a hall pass, free tardy, or 10 extra credit points.
INDIVIDUALISM Because of some individual needs/circumstances, I reserve the right to modify this disclosure to meet certain needs of students in helping them receive the best education possible.
PICTURES/VIDEO For some projects, student/teacher may take pictures as well as videotape. By signing this disclosure, you give me permission to post student pictures/videos for educational purposes – such as classroom use, various displays, or posting onto my blog.
FIELD TRIP(S) Students will be going on a field trip to Thanksgiving Point to learn more about various careers. Certain criteria – such as grade & citizenship - must be met in order to go. There will be a $6 charge to help pay for transportation and fees. At a later date, more information will be sent home. Also, students will have the opportunity to do a “Job Shadow.” Instead of going to school for a day, students will “job shadow” someone to find out about the career. This will take place during 2nd semester.
ANY DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, OR BOOKS WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT!
If there are any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or call before or after school. A copy of this disclosure can be found on my blog.
By signing, you are agreeing to support the above disclosure. Also, your child may not be able to use the computers until I receive the disclosure signed and returned. I am looking forward to an exciting semester with your child!
