Business Concepts
2016, 2017 Mrs. Kubow / Mrs. McEvoy
Homeroom/1st Period
Course Description:
We are so excited about beginning a new business here at Fall Creek High School! In this course students will create and operate a coffee shop at our school.
The coffee shop will provide coffee and breakfast items for faculty and students as well as enable the students to practice extremely important pre-vocational skills to assist them with obtaining gainful employment after graduation from high school. Students will deal with real customers, real money, and real on-the-job scenarios.
Vocational skills include:
Appropriate eye contact
Delivering coffee
Counting money and making change
Greeting customers
Following a recipe
Job application skills
Time management
Researching product to sell
Weekly grades will be based on the following criteria:
- Completes assigned task without being prompted
- Positive attitude
- On task
- Appropriate work place behavior
- Punctuality
Sick Policy: This is a course but is also the student’s job. If students are sick or have an appointment and are going to miss work that day they need to call in and communicate that if it is on short notice. If students do not call in to the coffee shop and it has not been communicated ahead of time with their instructors it will result in a 0 for that day.
Kids’ Weekend Meals
Students in this course also have the privilege of running our schools food pantry which services elementary students. Students will be responsible for creating the menus and packaging and delivering the food to the student’s classroom teachers. This is a very important role in our school!
This has been approved for community service that is a student’s requirement to graduate! Students are responsible for keeping track of their community service. Something that has worked in the past has been using a google doc to track hours and dates.
