You Are The BEST!

You are an elite group within this school.

It is a privilege to get to participate in the WBL program.

You represent young adults, your families, WCHS, and Worth County Schools in our community……..

If you mess up, there is an AP Calculus or Chemistry Class waiting for you……

Before the Rules…

Expectations• You and your parents need to read the

handbook – front to back. • You and your parents will need to sign

Page 19 of the Student Handbook. • Bring the handbook to me and I will copy

Page 19. DO NOT tear it out of the packet.

Page 4 – Student Handbook

• Read Page 4 of the Student Handbook carefully!

• Read Page 12 of the Student Handbook carefully!

Job Changes/Firing/Laid Off

• Not permitted without permission of the coordinator.

• Be cautious of your grade!• A student fired will be given a 0 for the employer

evaluation and be put on probation and may be removed from the program.

• A student “laid off” will be given a 10 day grace period to find employment.

• Students not employed at any time should remain at the high school with Ms. Pate – unless completing applications and/or interviewing.

Additional Information

• Students must go to work or they are considered skipping…unless it is your day off.

• If a student is assigned ISS, they must stay at school ALL DAY. They may not check out early. If they do, they are still required to make-up ISS time.

• If assigned ISS, students must notify employer and Ms. Pate. Please notify me BEFORE I read it on the ISS list.

• Parents and/or guardians must sign all forms for students that are 18 years of age. They are considered adults in the business world, but the school still needs signatures.

KEY REMINDERS

YOUR WORK DIRECTLY REFLECTS YOUR WORK ETHIC

BE ADVANCED, NOT BASIC

AVERAGE WORK WILL RECEIVE AN AVERAGE GRADE

Key Reminders Continued…

Give your mentor/supervisor a copy of the school calendar.

You are required to make up your time at work for every absence…EXCEPT testing. Even when you miss school for a field trip.

For non-paid interns, when school is closed, you are not required to work.

A paid job is different…you work when you are scheduled to work.

Always remember…

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
