INDEPENDENT STUDY
½ Year - ½ Credit; Fall & Spring
This semester-long study is for highly self-motivated students who wish to explore topics outside the generally taught curriculum. This outreach project begins with a proposal identifying a field of study, along with goals/benchmarks. Students will need to find a supervisor. The student and supervisor will collaborate to develop a proposal of expectations and responsibilities for each, including expected outcomes, student assessment and presentation of student work. Students must be in good standing (academic, attendance, conduct) and receive approval of the school counselor and Principal.
WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM

WKEXP - S1 - ½ Credit – Half year
Prerequisite: Interview with the School Counselor to determine work site.
Students must provide their own transportation. Work permit is necessary if the student is under 18 years of age. Students must be 16 years or older to participate. Students in this program will learn the basic skills and training needed to succeed in a chosen work environment. They will work with an adult supervisor who will provide the necessary support to work at least four (4) hours in a community based work site. This is a paid work experience. The supervisor and the School Counselor develop a Work Based learning Plan that evaluates the student’s performance. This evaluation, with weekly time sheets, make up the bulk of the student’s grade.
