The Work Study/ Internship Program provides Senior students an opportunity to meet their academic requirements for graduation while gaining valuable work or internship experience. Through this experience, students will build the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to be successful in higher education, in the workplace and in life. Students participating in this program will attend their academic classes daily and be granted a late arrival/early dismissal to participate in employment or internship during school hours.
Students can earn two credits per academic year through Work Study/Internship. Only seniors are eligible to participate in the work study/ internship program. It can be taken during the fall or spring semester.
Work Study/Internship is assessed on a Pass/Fail basis. Failure to comply with the regulations and expectations of the Work Study/Internship program will result in a grade of "F'.
Consequences for Inappropriate Behavior in Work Study/Internship
Work Study/Internship during school hours is offered as a privilege to students. Students are allowed off campus because:
*We feel it is reasonable to help establish qualities in students which many employers feel are lacking in may young people today (i.e. responsibility, accountability, attendance, appropriate behavior with customers/colleagues, ethical, etc.)
*They have mastered basic academies taught within the school setting and/or the traditional school setting is no longer appropriate
*They are gaining valuable experience in a field they are interested in pursuing
*As seniors, they are mature enough to handle time off-campus without direct teacher supervision
Because Work Study/Internship is a privilege and because of the above factors, the following consequences may be served on students found cheating in any way (i.e. forging evaluations, etc., or on students displaying unethical or irresponsible behavior during the time for which they have enrolled in Work Study/Internship.
*All credit or hours logged up to that time during that semester will be removed
*The student's transcript will permanently show a "F" for the semester in which the infraction occurred.
*Student will be assigned to a study hall during the blocks for which he/she had been assigned to Work Study/Internship
*The employer will be contacted and notified of the episode/situation
