What should I do when I'm absent?
Check the blog page on teacher web. Classwork, assignments, and
powerpoint presentations are posted daily. When you return to
school, see the teacher to schedule make-up work.
Can I use a pencil?
Only for your personal notes. All work that is to be turned in
for a grade MUST be turned in using ink (blue or black only).
In STI, what does the pound sign mean? How about the asterisk?
The "#" sign is used when a student has missed an assignment
that can be made up. It is averaged as a "0" until the student
makes up the work. The student is responsible for turning in
missed assignments and schedule make up tests.
The "*" is for work that is missed that cannot be made
up, but does not count against their averages.
Do you give extra credit work at the end of the nine weeks?
No. It is not fair to the students who do all of their work
during the nine weeks.
How can I make a good grade in Mr. Aucoin's class?
Turn in your work on time, study when needed (DAILY), take the
class seriously, and you will do fine.
Will I have to wash dishes?
Yes, everyone will rotate this duty to have the opportunity to
experience the satisfaction of hard work done well.
Will I have to do laundry?
Yes, each class is responsible for placing soiled laundry in the
washing machine. Each class will rotate folding duty.
Do I have to participate in any after-hour functions?
Pro Start students are required to have 400 intern hours by the
end of their senior year. 200 of these can be volunteer hours
which can include after school functions. In order earn these
hours,you will be required to work a certain number of after-hour
fuctions that will also count as classwork grades.
How often will I get to eat?
If you schedeuled this class for easy credit and a chance to eat
all day, re-think your schedule.
In Food and Nutrition, we will mainly study food and
nutrition. We will taste and do experiemnts during the first nine
weeks, and start cooking in Advanced Food and Nutrition.
Pro Start classes will cook as much a possible during class,
luncheons, competitions, and after-hours catering functions.
