Dear Parents / Guardians:
The Home Ec. program at St. Paul’s Jr. High is a semesterized
course. All students will take Home Ec. for one term each year.
The marks for this course will based on 50% for in-class work, and 50% for
take home weekly assignments. There will be 10 take home assignments in
all.
This year I am asking that ALL assignmetns be signed by the parent's before
they are passed into be corrected. A letter is coming home with a checklist
of the 10 assignments. You will be able to see what is required in the
assignments, and a space to check off when they have been completed and
signed by you. Once signed , please encourage your child to pass them in
right away.
All assignments will be made available on my school website, or can
be picked up from the Home Ec. room at any time. If a student misses a
class
for any reason, they will not be responsible for hands-on work done during
class time. However, they must complete that week’s take home assignment
and pass it in as soon as possible.
Work to be corrected is to be placed in the labelled white basket on
top of the filing cabinet in the Home Ec room. STUDENTS are then
responsible to COLLECT their own corrected folders from the
appropriate "Pick Up" box, in the HOme Ec room. .
In order to help keep the student’s work organized, I request that each
student keep all their Home Ec. work in a Duo-tang / Tri-lock folder. These
are the paper folders with 3 metal tabs to hold the papers. Please do NOT
have them use pocket folders, as the papers tend to get “lost”. These
folders are available at school for 25 cents if necessary to buy here. I
also ask that they do NOT use Binders, as I have no where to store them
while being corrected.
As I teach the entire school Home Economics, it is impossible for me to
call home to remind parents / students that assignments are overdue.
If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me through my school

Thank you for your cooperation is helping to make this a great year for your
child.
