FONTAINEBLEAU JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Parents, 
Welcome to Home Economics at Fontainebleau Jr. High School. I hope the 
following information will help you better understand our Home Economics 
program. The major concepts to be covered this year include: 
FOODS 
-Includes nutrition information, food sanitation and safety, kitchen 
equipment, table setting, etiquette, and planning and preparing various 
foods.

project will also be included.

include a color wheel, color schemes, floor plan and room design with 
emphasis on color schemes, lines, accessories, and furniture styles.

fees paid as soon as possible: $10.00 Home Economics lab fee for food 
supplies, sewing supplies, needlepoint or cross-stitch materials and other 
miscellaneous supplies needed for various projects.

MAKEWORK 
When absent, it is the responsibility of the student to make up any missed 
work. Check my teacher web page or see me between classes or at the end of 
the class hour for missed assignments. Please make an appointment with me to 
make up missed work. 
Extended time will not be given for projects or assignments that are assigned 
well in advance of a due date. If a student is absent on the due date, I 
suggest calling a friend to deliver the assignment/project or have a parent 
drop off the assignment at school. 
Late assignments/project will be marked as follows: 
one day late automatic 10 points off 
two days late - automatic 20 points off 
three days late - automatic 30 points off 
No work will be accepted after three days. All make up work must be 
completed before exam week. 
DISCIPLINE 
Classroom rules are as follows: 
-Be in your seat and prepared to work when the tardy bell rings 
-Respect yourself, all others and all property 
-Respect the rights of all others to learn 
-Talk one at a time only with permission 
-No food or drink allowed in class unless required for a lab or given 
permission 
Consequences 
Consequences for violating rules include verbal warning/conference with the 
teacher; letter, email, or phone call to parents; written assignment; 
detention; and/or office referral. If for any reason you need to contact me 
my e-mail address is laurie.brannon@stpsb.org or you can call the school 
office at 875-7501. 
Home Economics is a fun class with lots of hands-on activities. I look 
forward to working together with students and parents to make this the best 
year at Fontainebleau Jr. High.

Sincerely,

Laurie Brannon
