Number 9 Grades are posted on Skyward and updated as soon as I have the assignment graded. A * means I’m still working on it and a 0 means they didn’t turn it in.
Number 8 Class website is http://connect.issaquah.wednet.edu/high/ihs/staff/ms_smiths_site/default.aspx
Number 7 This is a dual credit course • Students earn .5 health credit and .5 CTE credit with a passing grade • Your student can earn college credit in this class by earning a B or higher and getting certified in first aid/CPR/AED. • The credits earned are for a community college but can transfer to many 4 year universities
Number 6 We will cover the following topics: • Goal Setting/Decision Making/Media Analysis • Nutrition • Mental Health/Stress Management • Relationships/Social Health • FLASH (Family Life and Sexual Health) • Human Body/Disease • Substance Use and Abuse • CPR/First Aid
Number 5 We teach facts and not values. My goal is to give your students the information they need to make healthy decisions based on their personal values. They will also have several homework assignments where they need to talk to a trusted adult about their beliefs/values.
Number 4 Attendance in all classes is crucial to success. Many of the activities from this class cannot be duplicated
Number 3 Students will be given time to complete the Career Exploration project during this class which is a graduation requirement
Number 2 We use the 2014 version of Pearson’s Health and the FLASH curriculum. Text books will be kept in the classroom. There are a limited number of online text books available for students that need a text at home.
Number 1 Ask your student what they are learning in class. We encourage students to discuss all the topics we discuss in class with their family and other trusted adults.
