Welcome to Health science! Mrs. Jennifer Sinclair Room 510
A Little Bit About Me I grew up in Lincoln County and graduated from UNC-Charlotte with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. As a Registered Nurse, I have worked in Family Practice, School Nursing, and Public Health. I've also been an adjunct instructor for Gaston College and Catawba Valley Community College. I live in Lincolnton with my husband, daughter, and cat.
What is Health Science? Health Science is a pathway in the CTE (Career and Technical Education) program for students interested in health care. Foundations of Health Science, Health Science I, and Health Science II, are courses taught at NLHS. Health Science is continued at the School of Technology with Nursing Fundamentals - a course in which you can become a Certified Nursing Assistant... All before graduating high school!
Foundations of Health Science Formerly known as Health Team Relations... This course is designed to assist potential health care workers in their role and function as health team members. Topics include medical terminology, the history of health care, healthcare agencies, ethics, legal responsibilities, health careers, holistic health, health care trends, cultural awareness, communication, medical math, leadership, and career decision making.
Health Science I This course is developed to focus on human anatomy, physiology and human body diseases and disorders, and recognizing and responding to first aid emergencies. Students will learn about healthcare careers within the context of human body systems.
Health Science II This course is designed to help students expand their understanding of financing and trends of healthcare agencies, fundamentals of wellness, legal and ethical issues, concepts of teamwork, and effective communication. Students will learn health care skills, including current CPR training for healthcare professionals.

Something to Know... At least for now, I will be teaching your class remotely. I have an autoimmune condition called lupus that puts me at higher risk during this COVID-19 pandemic. You will have a substitute teacher present in the classroom on the days that you are there, but I will be facilitating the class remotely via Canvas, recorded lessons, classroom Zooms, etc. While this is not how I’d like to teach, it’s necessary right now with the hopes that I can be back soon. Lots of things look different at NLHS, but I know that we will all make the best of it!
Supplies Needed All of your work will be completed online via Canvas this year. You’ll need a device and access to the internet. I do recommend you have a notebook on hand for note taking. Sharpen a pencil and grab a highlighter, and that’s all you should need!
About Canvas All high school students in Lincoln County will be using Canvas. Canvas can be accessed using your Rapid Identity ID. The icon looks like this There is a tutorial on the Lincoln County Schools main page that will teach you more about Canvas. Here’s the link! https://www.lcsnc.org/Page/9157 Also, you can download the Canvas app to use on other devices… available in the App Store and Google Play Store.
How We’ll Use Canvas There is an ANNOUNCEMENT tab on the left side. It is very important that you check these announcements daily , as this is how I will give you instructions for assignments and other important information. These announcements should also come to your school email address. It’s important to use and check your school email daily , as well. You will have a daily DISCUSSION BOARD to complete on Canvas. This will let me know that you are “present” for that day. You will click on the MODULES to find the Powerpoints, videos, notes, assignments, etc. You will need to work through the Modules in order to stay on track with the class. You can’t skip ahead as I will update and open these modules as we move throughout the semester.
