Principals of Human ServicesCheryl Haines
Grades 9 - 12
This laboratory course will enable students to investigate careers in the human services career cluster including counseling and mental health, early childhood development, family and community, and personal care services. Each student is expected to complete the knowledge and skills essential for success in high-skill, high-wage, or high-demand human services careers. Students are also encouraged to participate in extended learning experiences such as career and technical student organizations and other leadership or extracurricular organizations.
Students are encouraged to participate in Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).

Student Responsibility
Students are responsible to make up any work/tests/quizzes/projects they miss when they are absent. They are responsible to arrange a time with me to make up tests/quizzes. Students are responsible to check for Make-Up Work in the hanging file on the wall. Students will have extra time to complete assignments when absent in correlations with the days missed.(ie: absent 1 day-may complete assignment 1 day past due date). All tests and quizzes must be completed within a week of original test/quiz date.
Students are responsible for checking Edmodo for assignments and tools to help with notes and class work.
Late work will be accepted no later than 5 days beyond the due date. 30 points will be deducted from the final grade.
A student will receive an opportunity to be re-evaluated when he/she receives a grade below 70% in the evaluation category (excluding evaluation grades received on projects/assignments that extend over a period of 5 days.) In order for re-evaluation to occur, the student will participate in the re-teaching process as determined by the teacher. The re-evaluation score will replace the original score with a maximum grade of 70%. The re-evaluation process must take place within 5 school days of receiving the initial grade below 70.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials are available for students needing assistance or needing to complete assignments. I will be offering tutorials from 3:40 – 4:10 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons or by appointment. Do not expect to make up missing assignments during the class period.
Textbook Policy: There is a class set of textbooks. I give ample opportunity to students to complete assignments in class. Students should have the information they need for tests in their notes.
