Work Based Learning
It is a privilege for students to partake in the School-to-Career Program. Students are not required to participate; therefore, they can be removed at any time. Due to strenuous liability and accountability issues, under no uncertain terms can this privilege be abused. These experiences are an integral part of the school’s curriculum, and participation will reflect directly on the student’s academic standing. Typically, students must receive a “C” or better and have a good attendance and discipline record. Please see the School to Career Office for more information on a variety of work-based experiences for students, including Cooperative Education, Internships, Job Placements, and School-to-Career transition programs.
Junior and Senior students are eligible to participate in the School-to-Career program after completing a pre-evaluation form.
Additional Requirements (Seniors) – Seniors must complete a minimum of 75% of their task list, maintain a C Final Average in all classes, have zero discipline referrals for Senior year, and less than 10 combined Unexcused Absences and Tardies.
Additional Requirements (Juniors)- Juniors experiences are available after the second marking period. Juniors must complete a minimum of 60% of their task list Maintain a C Final Average in all classes, have zero discipline referrals for Junior year, and less than 10 combined Unexcused Absences and Tardies.
Technical Program Participation During Work-Based Learning- Students are required to check in with their Technical Instructor during the academic rotation and sign in. All students are required to be in for the NOCTI Exam and pre-determined NOCTI Prep days. Students are required to stay each morning for theory and will be dismissed for COOP.
Grading Procedures for Work-Based Learning: Students will be graded by averaging the Employer Evaluation and required classwork.
