It is important to note that this course runs through part of lunch and all of block 3. In return for an early start to class on Monday through Thursday, students will get most (not all) Fridays off. Student attendance is a critical part of this being a great opportunity for visiting schools. Attendance will play a significant part in a student’s grade, as will their ability to perform all duties related to safety to a very high standard. Students will also be assessed on how they demonstrate their commitment to connecting with and supporting our guests.
