Internet / Computer Skills Requirement
Due to schoolwide testing this semester, several classes will be conducted online. Students will need a working email address, access to the internet, a computer with word processing software, and a printer.

When a printer is not available, students may: use a school printer, or, email the assignment to the teacher. The Career Center and the school Library has computers and printers available as needed.

Class Notebook Requirement
WEE students will maintain a class notebook which will be organized by weeks 1 - 18. All notes and assignments are to be stored in the appropriate week. Parts of the notebook will be collected at various times for evaluation.

Grading
A = 90 - 100%
B = 80 - 89%
C = 70 - 79%
D = 60 - 69%
F = 59% or less

Semester Letter Grade is based on an accumulation of points throughout the entire semester comprised of items below:
•Participation in class
•Work Permit
•Training agreement
•Employer Evaluation
•Class assignments
•Class notebook

Semester Credit is awarded based on number of hours worked. One credit will be awarded for every 30 hours worked up to a maximum of 5 credits per semester. 150 hours of work are expected for a full 5 credits to be awarded.

Proof of hours worked: paystubs provided by employer.
Failure to produce paystubs will prevent a student from earning credit. All employers are required by law to provide paystubs that indicate hours worked and all deductions.

 

 

 

Late Turn In Policy
Late work will be accepted one week after the due date only.

An absence that week does not excuse late work.

If absent, turn in work the day you return to school without penalty. Bring work to the Career Center.

Penalty: Late work can earn up to a 50% penalty

Homework Policy
There is usually an assignment every week that relates to the topic being discussed. These assignments rarely take more than 20-30 minutes to complete. Some weeks there will be no homework.
