Dr. Asha Chemisi Kogo-Masila

Welcome! My name is Asha Chemisi Kogo-Masila and I will be teaching Food and Nutrition 2 /Honors and Food and Nutrition 1. I have 23 years of teaching experience in high school. All important information regarding the courses will be provided on the first day of school. This will include the welcome letter, course curriculum, and syllabus (expectations,attendance, grading policy and attendance). My goal as an educator is to create a conducive environment for all my students. Together we can make the school year 2022/23 a productive one.

PowerSchool's Parent Portal gives parents and students access to online information including attendance, and grades. Everyone stays connected: students stay on top of assignments, parents are able to participate more fully in their student's progress, and teachers can share information with parents and students. I encourage students, along with their parents, to have a username and password to ensure that all assignments are completed and turned in on time and also to keep track of their current class average. The username and password do not change from one year to another.  If you have misplaced your username and password, you can contact me at asha.kogo-masila@cabarrus.k12.nc.us
