Foods I Class was asked to make a cake...without using a recipe! The students chose their ingredients, guessed on their measurements, and baked until golden brown. They learned that step by step directions, ingredient list, measurements, time, and temperature would aid them greatly in making a cake! All parts of a recipe.





Advanced Foods Class has been learning about different kinds of sandwiches and the origins from around the world. The pictures are from their Sandwich Lab. The students learn on commercial equipment; which will help them transition into the workforce.

Medical documented illness (from doctor, school nurse, etc.)
Medical documented appointments (physician, dentist, mental health,etc.)
Personal illness reported (if chronic illness is happening, doctor note may be required)
Funeral
Court documented appointments
School sponsored activities
College visits (HS)
Family vacation, which have been given prior administrative approval.
Approval of building principal
Parents not giving a valid reason even calling in students will result in the student being marked unexcused resulting in students not being able to make up work or assessments according to the teacher's syllabi.
