Materials Needed A notebook/folder will be required for health. Students need to bring their folder with pockets, lined paper, planner (for homework assignments and bathroom passes), pencil and pen (no RED, please) to class EVERY DAY.
Subjects Covered Tobacco, Alcohol, Inhalants, Prescription and Over-the Counter Drugs will be taught factually and students will practice resistance skills. Family Life will be covered following FCPS approved curriculum. A Family Life Permission slip will be sent home.
Instructional Methods In health class there will be worksheets, videos, group work, skits and class discussions. There will be announced assessments and occasionally work that needs to be completed at home. Students must keep all their work in the notebook/folder, which will be graded on a daily basis.
Grading
Parents and Students will have the opportunity to monitor student’s grades using HAC. I will notify you if your child is in danger of failing or has dropped two full letter grades. If you have any questions about my expectations, grading, or course content please feel free to contact me any time.
