Welcome to Cooking/Baking Elective Class for Winter Feels like Summer2014

Cooking/Baking Class Summer/Fall 2014

Hello Parents & Students,

Welcome to Cooking and Baking Class for Kids! I hope you are looking forward to a fun experience for your child, as much as I am. The students will be using the stove and oven but I will be instructing, supervising and involved in every step of the process and preparation of every recipe. I have an assistant in every cooking class (my assistants are composed of ILCS students who have a passion for cooking/baking, have take my class previously and exhibit leadership). My assistant helps me with the more advanced techniques and methods of cooking as well as assists some of the kids in class.

Please let me know if your child has ANY food allergies or sensitivities as soon as possible. Please E-mail me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com

For my class to be successful it is very important that every student is a listener; as well as careful during class. Please review the kitchen safety rules with your child (I will also be going over the rules with them on the first day of class). If a student is misbehaving inappropriately he or she will not be permitted to participate with our cooking/baking class for that day. I will begin with a warning and then will ask the student to take a seat. If the behavior continues I will drop the student from Cooking/Baking Elective Class. If your child is dropped from this elective, a full payment for the cost of the trimester will be required. It is a privilege to be in ANY Elective Class, inappropriate behavior takes away time from the kids I am trying to teach. It also creates an unsafe atmosphere. I want to make sure everyone has fun, but I must keep the safety of all the children in mind.

***PLEASE NOTE*** The cost of the cooking/baking elective class is $75 total for the trimester. Extended days are held on the last Thursday of every month at CSC. *If you attend BSC and are in this elective on Thursdays you will not attend elective class on these Extended Days. Extended days take place on Thursdays; the last day of the month at CSC.

*Please take a look at the information above for the tuition fee. All payments are due as soon as possible. Please make your check payable directly to: Esmeralda Williams. Cash is also accepted, if payment is made via currency I will provide a receipt for those payments. I understand that some individuals may be going through a hardship. If so, please do not hesitate to email me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com let me know if you need a scholarship or if you need additional time to make your payment. All information is kept confidential.

I don’t foresee having to cancel any classes but in the event that I do, I will notify you via a phone call/email. ILCS provids me with the phone number you have on file with the office. If there is a different number where you need or would like to be contacted, please email it to me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com

I have lots of fun recipes planned. I hope your child enjoys my cooking and baking class. Most of all, I hope your child surprises you and makes a few of the recipes he/she learned to prepare in class! :)

Recipes are available on my cooking blog website. Students may log on with your parents consent; please visit our cooking/baking blog for ALL recipes and class lessons. www.ilcscookingelective.blogspot.com
