Absence / Make – Up work Procedure: Upon returning to school following an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed work. There is a binder in class with the information about the work you missed. Student's can make up the work during Smart Lunch.

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

Homework: Most of our work will be completed in the classroom unless they did not finish their work in class.  Occasionally there may be topics to research at home

**For the first two 6 week sessions each student will be required to prepare one class recipe at home. They will then have someone at home complete a survey about the preparation, presentation, taste and clean-up. Please encourage your student to share the recipes and cook what they have learned J

Cooking Labs We will have cooking labs every Friday. 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 so that they don’t miss labs on Friday’s.

There will be a final project in Foods I: The student will be the meal manager for one recipe at school. This includes planning the menu, shopping for the ingredients, preparing and presenting the food prepared.
