Co-Op
The purpose of this program is to develop employment competencies in students through classroom instruction and work experience related to career interests. Classroom instruction includes job-seeking skills, personal development, occupational survival and behavioral skills for basic work relations, and additional career exploration activities. Emphasis is placed on matching students with career-related entry-level positions. Students must successfully complete the application and interview process during the second semester of their junior year to be accepted in the program. Acceptance into the program or specific job placement cannot be guaranteed. A training agreement outlining student, parent, coordinator, and training station responsibilities must be signed in order for the student to receive the work experience credit. Students violating the training agreement could be placed in study hall, receive a lower or failing grade, and/or be removed from the program. Students must provide their own transportation to the job. This course will provide students with the knowledge, attitude, skills, and habits necessary to make the transition from school to career successfully. Release Time Students with 6th and/or 7th hour release in their schedule, may leave school after last scheduled class. Release time is a privilege and may be replaced with a study hall due to excessive absences, failing grades, & discipline. If students are absent from school any morning, they are not allowed to work that afternoon/evening.

Teacher permission will only be granted if the student is receiving a C or better, has no missing assignments, and the teacher is not giving instructions. Student use of personal electronic devices must support the instructional activities currently occurring in the instructional environment. Students must turn off and put away personal electronic devices at any time when requested by a teacher/staff member. The use of headphones will NOT take away from work time. This includes warm up time and any other instructional time. Students should be aware that their use of the electronic devices should not cause distraction for others in the classroom. Therefore, audio must be muted and headphones may not be used during instructional time. Listening to music, watching videos, using the internet, etc is a privilege, not a right. If at any point this becomes a distraction to the learning environment, the privilege will be taken away. Failure to abide by these policies can result in: Loss of privilege for the remainder of class period Loss of privilege for the remainder of week Loss of privilege for the remainder of term Loss of privilege for the remainder of semester These policies can be amended as needed by the teacher. |
