Welcome to Family and Consumer Sciences
Baltic Middle and High School

CLASSROOM AND COURSE 
GUIDELINES

Behavior:

• Be nice, be careful, clean up after yourself and do your best work.
• Come prepared for class and be on time.

Assignments and homework

• Course assignments will be handed out or can be found on the school “R” drive under the “Ries” folder then in the class name folder (Careers, Human Development, etc.)
• Completed assignments will be turned in on the school “U” drive or emailed unless otherwise noted.
• Turn in assignments on time, and do your own work to receive full credit.  Any late work will result in being referred to SRB at the end of the day.
• Late work:
  • Assignment due in class and not turned in: 90% credit
  • Turned in after class but by the end of the day (during/after SRB):  80% credit
  • Turned in by the end of the following school day (not class day):  70% credit
  • Work turned in over 2 days late:  zero
• Make up time:
  • Students who miss class due to an unexpected absence are expected to come get their homework the following school day (not class day).  Assignments will be due the following class period (next day).
  • Students who miss class due to an unexpected absence will be given one make up day for every school day missed.
  • Students who miss class due to planned absences (sports, school activities, vacations, doctors’ appointments) should get their work before they leave and will not get extended make up time.  Regular class deadlines will apply.
  • Tests will be made up the following class period.  No extended time unless you talk to me first.
• If you miss class, you can find your make up assignments on the back counter with a melon colored “Make up work for FACS” sheet attached or I will email it to you. 
• Do your best work the first time around – extra credit is rarely given.
• Any copying or cheating will result in a zero grade for all students involved.  Unless I tell you that you may work together, I expect you to do your own work.
  
  

Classroom Guidelines

• Keep yourself busy if you get done with your work early. Do not bother other students.
• Pop, candy or snacks are allowed for special events only.    Foods prepared in cooking lab stay there.
• I will do everything I can to make sure every individual gets what they need to be successful.  Please contact me if you need help with coursework or concepts.
