Course Description:

This course is designed for students who are interested in understanding the principles of nutrition and

in maintaining a healthy life style. Attention will be given to the selection and preparation of food and personal
health and well-being. Skills test will be given at the end of the semester.
We will cover the following units this semester.
* Kitchen Management * Safety and Sanitation/ServSafe *MyPlate/Nutrition * Carbs *Protein *Dairy *Fat
* Vitamins and Minerals/Fruits and Veggies (Tests are given with each unit)
With each unit we do cooking labs that go along with our learning. On Average we cook 1-2 times a week. All
students are expected to both cook and clean during each foods lab and work well with others in your group.

School-wide Grading:
All teachers will utilize the following school wide grading scale for assignments, projects, tests and finals
grades. See school-wide disclosure for reference. Things to remember about school wide grading policy:
-

Students are expected to be in the classroom at the bell and in their seats shortly after

Tardies and behavior issues will result in poor citizenship grade. Continual problems will result in further
consequences

Students are expected to turn work in on time. Students will be allowed to turn in late work until the week

before the quarter ends. (See handbook for more info on late work)
-

Students will be given 1 week to make up missed work from absences. (w

-

No running errands during class. You may not go see other teachers.

No cell phone or any other electronic devices, unless a part of class.

Rewards will be given to students and classes who are well behaved, on task and making an effort

Students off-task or disrespectful to subs will have to complete an additional assignment. If your name
is written down in the sub report I will give you your extra assignment when I come back.

Students with constant behavior issues will be excused from cooking labs or sewing lab and complete an
alternate assignment.

Students will grades below a C may be excused from cooking labs to get caught up on their work. Most
of the study guides we do in class are not individually graded but are a tool for preparing for the test.
By participating in class and completing study guide assignment thoroughly, you will have the tools and
information you need to be successful on your test.

Tests can be made up as many times as needed. You must take a few days to re-study for the test.
