Student Hospitality Program
The Hospitality Services Practicum Program at the Houston Airport Marriott was established as a partnership between Humble ISD and the hotel. The program was developed so that junior and senior level students from Humble ISD schools could experience the many varied careers within the hospitality industry.
The Houston Airport Marriott at Bush Intercontinental has graciously accepted these students into their hotel as their own. Students spend part of their school day at the hotel and have the opportunity to train in all areas of the hotel. The associates at the hotel do a tremendous job of training the students in all aspects of the hotel. The “hands-on” training they receive everyday cannot be duplicated in the typical classroom setting back at their high schools. You can’t learn “customer-service” skills out of a book, experience is the best teacher.
In the past not only have the Houston Airport Marriott employees helped develop skills that the student can use in the hospitality industry, they have also taught them employment skills they can use in any career. These work-based skills are not taught in the regular academic classrooms, yet are the very life-line of successful career paths.
The staff of the Houston Airport Marriott is committed to giving back to the community and graciously continues to educate today’s youth.
On behalf of Humble ISD, we thank the Houston Airport Marriott for its continued interest in the futures of today’s youth and support of this school-business partnership.

Risa McCann, Lead Hospitality Teacher
Hospitality Services Course, Humble ISD
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your son/daughter is enrolled in the Hospitality Services course, an exciting and productive program that is a partnership between the Marriott Corporation and Humble ISD. Students will have opportunities that are not normally afforded them in a regular classroom setting. Having the Houston Airport Marriott Hotel as a training facility makes the training realistic. Your child will have the opportunity to train in different areas of the hotel. At the end of the school year, your son/daughter will be able to use this training on job resumes, as if they had worked a year in the business world. They will know if they want to pursue a career in the hospitality industry or other related fields.
After graduation, students who choose to continue their studies in the hospitality industry can receive college credit if they attend the University of Houston, Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, the Art Institute of Houston or North Harris Community College. Students will be afforded the opportunity to compete in area Hospitality Student Competition and enjoy several field trips. Students will be required to purchase the uniform shirt and to provide their slacks/skirt, belt, and appropriate shoes. There will be a nominal fee charged for each opportunity.
If after reading the information in this handbook, you have a comment or question, please call. Your calls are always welcome. I look forward to visiting with you at the “End of the Year Student Showcase” at the hotel this spring if not before then.
Sincerely,
Risa McCann
Lead Humble ISD Teacher

General Course Information
Transportation
Students are transported from their individual high schools to the hotel by HISD School bus every morning free of charge. Bus times will be given to the students at the beginning of the year. Individual students are not permitted to drive to the Hotel. There is no “free parking” at the Marriott or Houston Airport. Students are allowed to drive to the CATE Center. They must secure a CATE Parking Pass for $20.00 that must be displayed on their car windshield.
Students that miss the bus to the CATE Center will be required to do the following:
1. Go directly to their Assistant Principal/Counselor/Secretary’s office.
2. Ask the campus representative to notify Mrs. McCann via email.
3. The student will be required to stay with the campus representative and may choose to do their school work or any tasks assigned by the Campus representative. Sleeping during this time is never allowed.
4. Mrs. McCann will follow-up and verify student attendance at the end of the day with the campus representative.
5. The student is counted absent as per HISD policy! The student must request the campus representative change the attendance code as per school rules.
6. The student will receive a zero for the day.
7. Any student that “misses the bus” more than one time per school year may be subject to dismissal from the Hospitality Services program.
5
Absences
All Humble ISD policies for absences apply to this course.
Please schedule doctor’s appointments, etc. at another time during the day if possible. Students should contact the instructor by calling her cell phone or sending a text as soon as the absence is determined, or by 7:00 AM. Failure on the part of the student to contact the instructor one time will result in a lowered evaluation score; twice will be a discipline referral and third time will result in removal from the course.
School-related activities are announced in advance, so please alert the course instructor if absence is related to school. Making up a test or project for another teacher/course is not to be done during Hospitality Services class-time.
Students will earn 25 points a day, 4 days a week for attending class, dressing in full uniform, wearing their nametag and a smile, arriving and participating in their station activities in a timely manner. Students will earn a zero for all absences unless the absence is excused by the campus (DV, SR, PCN). Students will also be in violation of the course procedures, as spelled out in the Course Handbook, for not notifying Mrs. McCann of an absence either prior to the absence or the early morning of the absence. Participation in the Marriott course is similar to that of a paying job. If a worker does not show up and does not notify the employer of the absence he is subject to dismissal!
CATE Center Parking Pass
Students are required to obtain and display a CATE Center Parking pass if they plan to drive to the CATE Center at any time during the school year. The pass may be obtained from the front office for a small fee. Proof of Texas driver’s insurance and a valid Texas Driver’s License is required.

Curriculum and Training
Included in this handbook is the course outline. This is a year-long course that yields 2 elective credits but requires a 3 hour time block in the student’s schedule. During the first weeks of the fall semester, Hospitality Services class will meet at the Career and Technology Center on Will Clayton Parkway. Students will be transported from their individual high schools to the CATE Center by HISD School bus every morning. During the first weeks of September the students will be bused from their schools to the CATE Center and from the CATE Center to the hotel for Marriott Orientation.
The emphasis of study the first weeks of the course will be the hospitality industry, The Marriott Corporation, customer service, ethics, and professionalism in order that your son/daughter may be a more successful trainee.
After that, the normal week will consist of the students training at their stations Monday through Friday, with Thursdays spent in the classroom at the CATE Center on Will Clayton Parkway. Students will have the opportunity to train and work in the many areas within a hotel during the Hospitality Services course. The students are not paid employees of the Marriott hotel; however, the experience will be an eye-opener into the world of the professional employee. Students will be wearing uniforms, dressing and acting professionally and working side by side with hotel employees. This opportunity will also hopefully open doors for summer, part-time and post-secondary employment. Occasionally the class will go on fieldtrips and have guest speakers during class time.
All students will train in the Housekeeping Department for a 3 week period and the Engineering Department for 3 weeks. They will have a choice of the following departments for the other six-week training rotations:
Accounting Banquets Event Management Front Desk/ AYS Human Resources
7
Kitchen/Omelet Bar Loss Prevention Purchasing and Receiving Flights Restaurant/In Room Dining Daily Grind/M Club
Every effort is made to comply with the student’s departmental requests. The teacher will make the final decision as to the department in which the student will be best suited. Consultation is held with the teacher concerning their choices at the beginning of the school year. Students must work in their assigned stations while at the hotel. Students that “roam” or “choose to visit friends in other stations” during the class time at the hotel will be issued a Disciplinary Infraction for “out of designated area.” Their principal, home campus and parent will be notified of the infraction.
Meals/Snacks
Students must eat breakfast before arriving at the hotel. A student is never to assume food at the hotel is free or available to be eaten by them. If food is offered by a Marriott host it is acceptable to enjoy the offered food, otherwise – students are not to eat or to ask for food or beverages!! Items from the vending machines in the Landing Zone may be purchased at the end of the shift each day.
Cell Phones
The use of cell phones is prohibited by Marriott corporate policy. Disciplinary action will be taken if a student is found using their cell phone on the Marriott property. It is suggested that students wear a watch in order to keep track of time.

Enrollment in REMIND
All students are required to enroll in the course safe texting service-REMIND. Parents are also encouraged to enroll. Text @ba756 to 81010.
Uniforms and Dress Code
We train as professionals in a professional environment and must dress accordingly. Students are to arrive each day at the Marriott in uniform ready to work. Students must wear the uniform of trainees: black pants, belt and the required uniform shirt purchased at the beginning of the school year by the student. Dark black, closed-toe, non-slip shoes are to be worn each day. Black or dark jackets are required in some departments, but are not provided by the hotel. Ties for males may also be required in some departments. Beige or white undergarments are to be worn under the ladies uniform shirts. White t-shirts are to be worn under the men’s uniform shirt, avoid colored or printed t-shirts! All pants should fit at the waist or hips appropriately with no sagging or skin showing and should be topped with a belt if belt loops are present. Pants should be hemmed to the appropriate length so as to portray a professional appearance. It is suggested that students have two uniforms for the year.
A simple wrist watch is suggested for time awareness! One ring per hand and absolutely no facial jewelry allowed. Fingernails are to be trimmed short just beyond the fingertip, filed smooth. Fingernail polish is to be clear in color, if worn at all.
Male students may not display facial hair. This hotel policy will be strictly enforced!
The student will be responsible for keeping the uniform clean and pressed. Students must take their uniforms home each weekend for laundering. Uniforms must be brought back ready for the week each Monday. Uniforms are to be on a hanger and hung in the office at the end of each shift unless it is to be laundered
9
at home. Kitchen uniforms (aprons, chef jackets, toques) are provided. The student is responsible for the laundering of the apron.
Humble ISD’s Dress Code Policies must be followed at the hotel. Marriott has policies concerning dress codes that must be followed, also. Uniform care and personal hygiene are an important part of the student’s daily grades. Hair is to be washed daily so it looks and smells clean. Students must be odor-free, no body odor, perfume or cologne. Humble ISD Dress Code Policies may be found in the HISD Student Handbook. The Marriott’s “Local Standards of Appearance” will be addressed during the first weeks of instruction.
Dress codes will be strictly enforced. Students will be assigned a locker to keep their belongings in at the hotel during their shift. Students are to memorize their locker combinations. Seven minutes at the end of the period will be the allotted time for changing in the appropriate hotel locker room.
As students leave, the hotel classroom each day an individual uniform/professional appearance and nametag inspection will be conducted.
Social Media
Students will maintain confidentiality about Marriott information on all social media during the course of the school year. Photos of and with mentors are not allowed to be posted. Student must have express permission to post photos etc. of other students.
Confidentiality
All students were selected to be a part of this practicum due to their skill set, attitude and trustworthiness. During the course of the year, they might work with sensitive information that is not be shared with others. Total confidentiality is expected. A breach of confidentiality will result in dismissal from the program.

Non-negotiables
The Marriott hotel is engaged in a business where the total success is determined by the customer or guest experience. Your attitude and appearance is the most lasting impression the guest will remember. You may be his or her first recollection that will influence their decision for repeat business. You, the student, must constantly be aware that in dealing with the guest you are creating an impression. Make the most of the opportunity. Rude, discourteous, or any conduct less then professional will not be tolerated by either the guest, the Marriott hotel, Mrs. McCann or Humble ISD. Any un-professional behavior will be sufficient cause for disciplinary action up to and including termination from the Hospitality Services program.
Expected personal conduct includes:
1. Courtesy – always treat others as you would expect to be treated, smile!2. Enthusiasm – a positive attitude spells success!3. Neatness- both in appearance and work4. Good-grooming - extreme clothing, jewelry, hair styles, fragrance and makeup are not
appropriate in business. Be clean, neat and well groomed!5. Cooperative spirit - you are not just the student of a certain department, but a
representative of the hotel, Mrs. McCann, Humble ISD and your family. You should assume this responsibility and act accordingly.
Immediate Termination may result from the following incidents:
1. Cell phone use on the Marriott property2. Theft3. Refusal to do an assigned task4. Use of profanity5. Fighting-physically or verbally6. Being out of designated area7. Leaving the hotel without permission
