Classwork
        Classwork should be submitted by due date in order to earn full credit. Should a student be absent, the assignment is due when he/she returns.  Points will be taken off for each day it is late.  After three days, late assignments will not be accepted. 

 Participation
         Students will regularly be graded on class participation. 

         If the student has an excused absence, no points will be lost for participation.

 Lab Activities
         Students will be in the labs cooking approximately 2-3 days a week.

         These activities are a privilege earned by completing all written work that goes along with the current unit.

         Students who fail to follow all classroom sanitation, safety, and behavior policies will immediately be removed from all lab activities. These students will then be given alternative written assignments to complete on lab days.  

 Tests / Quizzes
         Tests / Quizzes will be given at the end of each chapter/unit. 

         Students are expected to take scheduled tests even if they are absent the day prior to the test.

         If a student is absent, arrangements must be made with the teacher to make up the test within three days, or the student will receive a grade of zero.

 Electronic Devices
         There will be no electronic devices in this classroom

         If you have one with you, it should never be seen or be heard!

 I look forward to working with your son/daughter.  If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.  It is often hard to get to a telephone, so email is the most efficient way to correspond with me. ([email protected]
