Food service management functions are introduced. More indepth information is provided and higher levels of skills are taught. Time is provided for work based learning opportunities. Leadership development will be provided through the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. Classroom Management In order for each student to feel safe and comfortable in my classroom, a positive and respectful attitude is expected of all students, this includes respecting others’ thoughts, work, feelings, and individuality. If a student does not demonstrate positive behavior, I will visit with him/her and we will try to resolve the issue together. If this proves unsuccessful, students will call their parents at home or work and explain their behavior. The third offense will be disciplinary action in IC-Mr. Frasure or Ms. Martin. Any negative behavior that continues will result in a conference with the student, parent(s)/guardian(s), the teacher and Mr. Frasure or Ms. Martin. Where do I go to find agendas and assignments? If you go to the Boyd County Website, click on schools and go to Boyd County High School Homepage, on the left is a tab that says Teacher Websites, look for my name and click to go to my website. Once to my website you can click on the appropriate class— Culinary Arts II. You will find course information, syllabus, announcements and assignments. I also use Remind 101 and Twitter. Those codes and social media handles are in the contact information section of your syllabus. What happens if I turn in an assignment late? Work not completed and turned in by the assigned date is considered late. If a student is absent on the date work is due, the assignment is due the first day the student returns to school. COMPLETED LATE WORK will only receive partial credit (70% of the assignment total). INCOMPLETE LATE WORK will not be graded and will result in a zero for the assignment.
