Health

            The Alabama Health course of study consists of sixteen standards designed to help students learn about and take responsibility for their own health. Topics include personal health, social health, and environmental health, and influences and variables which may affect them. Effects and consequences of both positive and negative health decisions are covered with emphasis on chemical substance abuse and other risky behaviors. More information on the Health course of study can be found at http://alex.state.al.us/standardAll.php?grade=9&subject=HE1&summary=2 .

  You are to keep all work in your binder until it is turned in.  You are responsible for bringing your binder to class each day and keeping it organized.  There will be unannounced binder checks throughout the year.

   

   

  Attendance

  If you are absent, you need to make up the work you missed.  If the absence is excused, credit will be given for the make-up work.  It is YOUR responsibility to find out what you missed and meet with me before class, after class or during break to schedule make up work or tests.
