Absence / Make up work Procedure: Upon returning to school following an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed work.

If a student is absent for a test we will arrange a time to make it up, either during my office hours or during the student’s lunch period.

Chromebooks: Students are expected to bring their charged Chromebooks to class each day. We WILL use them frequently.

Homework: This is an honors level course. There will be homework and projects. There will be a final project in addition to the semester projects.

Cooking Labs: We will have cooking labs most Friday’s. If they miss more than 1 lab per grading period they are required to make it up at home. Your students look forward to this every week and their lab partners rely on them. Please plan their doctor appointments and your vacations accordingly.

Community Service – Everyone works at their own pace and sometimes a student has finished his/her classwork so they have ‘free’ time. In the Foods classroom they will have the opportunity to work on plarn mats in their free time. We will donate the and/or mats to the homeless community in Charlotte.
