4. Passes to leave class:
Bathroom and Water Fountain – Only 1 person is allowed out of the room
at a time, you must sign out and take agenda.

office is closed during 1st and 8th period.
Office – You may go to the office only if you have a pass from the office or
are called down.
5. Missed work – It is your responsibility to find out what you have missed in
class. If you miss a quiz, class work, or homework assignment, you need to
make it up within 1 cycle before school or during lunch study intervention.
Failure to make up a quiz or assignment results in 0 for that assignment.
6. Missed lab – If you miss a cooking lab, the first lab is excused, but if a
second or third lab is missed, you will need to make up the lab at home.
You can follow the same recipe we have made in class. Please ask for a lab
make-up sheet to complete the lab.
7. Keep your work area clean – Each person is responsible for putting things
back where they belong. It is important that we keep the rooms neat and
orderly so others can work effectively. Lab points will be deducted if your
teacher has to clean up your mess.
8. When working on sewing projects, they may not leave the classroom or
school until they have been graded.

grade based on how well directions were followed, cooperation, practicing
