Welcome to Cooking/Baking Class

Welcome to Cooking/Baking Elective Class WINTER 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 taken 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 younger kids in class. Please let me know if your child has ANY food allergies or sensitivities to certain foods as soon as possible. You may email me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com

For my class to be successful it is very important that every student is a good 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 other kids who want to learn and it also makes it 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 cooking class differs by day. The reason some classes differ in pricing is due to Holidays and extended days, etc. Monday is $65, Tuesday and Wednesday is $75. The cost on Thursday is $65. Extended days are held on the last Thursday of every month at CSC. Therefore; no electives are offered on this day. All payments are due the week of December 15th. 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, are paid on a monthly basis, etc. 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 provides me with the phone number you have on file with the office. Please make sure your number is current.
