    Grading – Exam first quarter SERVSAFE CETIFICATION, or NRFSP

    Students can log in to FOCUS to stay up-to-date on their performance in my class.

      Quarter 1 = 50%, Quarter 2 = 50%

     

      Grading: Grades will be based on the FSUS Policies and Grading Standards. 90 - 100 is an “A”, 80 - 89 is a “B”, 70 – 79 is a “C”, 60 – 

      69 is a “D” and 59 and below is an “F”.

     

      Grades will be on a weighted scale.

    Assessments: 60%- (40% first quarter- food safety test, 20% Quizzes and Informal Labs).

    Practice:  40% (Homework, Classwork, Lab Participation, and catering)

     

     

    Late Work - The work I assign is designed to 1) give you opportunities to practice the knowledge and skills we are learning and 2) give me a better sense of your current proficiency in those areas so that I can adjust my instruction as needed. For these reasons, it is critical that you complete assignments on time. Any work not turned in at the time it is due (with the exception of absences) is considered late. Work turned in after the due date, unless submitted due to an excused absence, will receive a maximum score of 70% until the unit test.  Late work will not be accepted after the unit test.  Late work should be turned into the “Late Work” tray.

     

    Make-up Work -  Students who are not in school miss important learning, including academic assignments and assessments. Our school make-up policy is designed to support students to make up the learning they missed, including all missed assignments and assessments, so that they do not fall behind academically.

    As per the FSUS Student Code of Conduct, students are responsible for collecting missed assignments on the day they return to school. Students will have two (2) school days, not including the day of return, for each excused class day they are absent to makee up missed learning and assignments. Previously assigned work is due the day of return.  <Read page 15 of Code of Conduct>

    Work that is missing due to an unexcused absence is considered “late work.”

    Students that have received In-School Suspension, Out-of-School Suspension, or placed on Administrative Leave will be expected to work on assignments during the time of his/her absence.  The student and family will work with FSUS Administration and faculty on a case-by-case basis to make sure that the student is receiving all classwork and assignments. Deadlines for completion will be given on a case by case basis.

    Accommodations

    Our success in this class is important to me. If there are circumstances that may affect your performance in this class, please let me know as soon as possible so that we may work together to develop strategies for adapting assignments to meet both your needs and the requirements off the course.
