As an extension of the vocational curriculum at Jena High School, the Jena High School Work Experience Program is being continued by the LaSalle Parish School Board during the 2002-2003 school year.  Students who are enrolled in the program have been placed at work sites according to their interests, involvement in specific high school courses, and/or their career focus.  These students work during the school day and, upon completion, will receive Carnegie units for this work experience.  They will also receive a work experience certificate stating the name of their workplace, number of work hours completed, and the student's responsibilities while at the workplace.

Students are evaluated at the end of every nine weeks by their supervisor.  Criteria on which they are evaluated are:

APPEARANCE:  Each student/employee must dress according to school and/or workplace policy.

ATTENDANCE:  Students should report promptly to the work site and stay at the site until the end of the second period of class.  If the student is to be absent or late, prior notice must be given.  Students who decide to terminate their employment for any reason must give a 2-week notice to their employer.

ATTITUDE:  Students must be courteous to all people they come in contact with at the work site.

CRITICISM:  Students should listen and follow the instructions of the work site supervisors.

INITIATIVE:  Once student workers are given a duty, they are to begin and work until the job is completed.  They should not have to be reminded to start work.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Students should complete duties and follow oral and written instructions.

QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE:  Students should pay attention to detail and accuracy and their rate of performance should be excellent.

RESPONSIBILITY AND DEPENDABILITY: Students should stay on task and complete work given.
