Work Credit Option
The School-to-Work Coop Education program is designed
to allow students that are currently enrolled in a career or technical
oriented program (i.e. Vocational Education, School-to Work) to
be allowed to count their work hours as learning hours and get
credit after various requirements are met. One requirement is
the number of hours worked - 203 hours will qualify for ½ credit.
A maximum of 810 will be allowed for 2 credits upon completion
of all six course units. Other requirements include training
agreements, evaluations and visitations by the instructor to the
work site. Contact the Work Coop teacher for more details.

Grades
Grades will be determined by each assignment given
a number grade from 1 - 4 to indicate the level of effort, competency
and/or academic achievement displayed by the student. The final
grade will be determined mathematically by an averaging system
built into the grade book program. All assignments must be
completed with a minimum grade of 2 for a grade to be earned.
