Homeroom+9-3

Homeroom 9-3 (Health and Careers 9) Page

Welcome to Homeroom 9-3. Homeroom meets every Friday from 10:12 to 10:42 AM.

Homeroom includes much of a course called Health and Careers 9 (HCE for short). Parts of HCE are covered in other courses or in assemblies. We will cover the following in HCE class (in no particular order)
 * ATSS' Civility Code and Dress Code (or, Respect Yourself and Others)
 * What is plagiarism? (or, How to Fail High School Without Even Trying)
 * How to take effective notes
 * How to study for various subjects
 * How to read a textbook for best effect
 * Effective time management for students
 * How to write exams (and get the best mark possible)
 * What classes should I take next year?
 * What kinds of careers should I consider?

Other topics are covered as part of other courses--you will discuss HCE topics in Information Technology 9, Woodwork 9, Foods and Nutrition 9, and Physical Education 9.

You will have assignments in Health and Careers 9; you will get a grade in HCE. You will also earn a work habits mark. Both of these will be reported on your report cards throughout the year. Because you are only in homeroom for 30 minutes per week, you have a great responsibility to keep up with your HCE assignments without being reminded.

I do not accept work in pencil. I do not accept late work unless it is accompanied by a fully completed LATE ASSIGNMENT SLIP. Please see the HOME page for general information.

The purpose of this course is to help you succeed in high school and beyond.
