Welcome to Family & Consumer Sciences Advanced
Foods and Nutrition class! This course is designed to
be a continuation of Foods and Nutrition and assist
you in principles related to food preparation. It helps
you in making critical decisions about food, which
contributes to health and well-being. Laboratory
instruction is included as an application process.
Practical problems addressed relate to attitudes
toward foods, nutrition facts, special health concerns
and diets, management of food resources,
preparation skills, food safety, sanitation and careers
in nutrition and food service. An emphasis on careers
related to food service and nutrition (i.e. catering,
dietician, and other culinary careers.) 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—
Advanced Foods and Nutrition. 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.

How will I check my grade in class?
Parents and students are also strongly encouraged to check the
Infinite Campus on a weekly basis to view the most current
grades for EVERY class.
What do I do if I am absent?
Always check the class site for handouts, and assignment due
dates. A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned
on a day a student was absent. If a quiz was administered on a day
a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day
the student returns. If previously assigned work was due on the
day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student
returns otherwise it is considered late and will only receive 70%
credit. The attendance policy in the student handbook will be
followed.
Do I have to read outside of class?
