    • Groups:  Groups are assigned by Mrs. Browne.  Complaining about assigned groups, doing other people’s jobs and messing around in the kitchen will not be tolerated and will result in students sitting out of the lab and an alternate assignment will be given.  If it continues, parents will be contacted.

    • Equipment and Tools:  Students will be using a variety of kitchen appliances and tools.  

    • Make-up assignments:  If a student misses a demonstration or lab, they are responsible for making up the work.

    • Let Mrs. Browne know of any food allergies or restrictions.

     

    Late Work:

    • If a student has an excused absence, they will have the amount of school days that they were absent to make up the work.

    Class Equipment:

    The CTE lab features several expensive and some irreplaceable pieces of equipment, tools, technology and materials.  Students are incredibly fortunate to be provided this opportunity at the middle and high school level.  ALL lab equipment must be respected and cared for at all times.  Work areas must be cleaned up and materials returned to their proper locations near the conclusion of each class period.  Accidental damage to lab equipment must be reported to the instructor immediately.  Students should not fear reporting accidental damage, as there are no consequences for true accidents in the lab.  Accidents do happen unexpectedly on occasion, and are part of the learning process.  However, students found to be deliberately damaging, abusing, defacing, vandalizing, or stealing materials, tools, and/or equipment will be financially responsible for the full replacement or repair costs. To preserve the longevity of the lab equipment and the program, there is no tolerance for students who do not respect and care for the lab equipment, as they take away opportunities from deserving students.
