Work-Based Learning Program Cooperative Education Code of Ethics

The student code of ethics is a contract in which a student enrolled in the Work-Based Learning Program (Cooperative education) must adhere to throughout the school year. Failure to adhere to the code of ethics may cause an infraction in the program and may result in the dismissal from the program, with my jeopardize graduation.

Study the Code of Ethics that are expected of each student enrolled in the Work-Based Learning Program. After you have read them, sign your name and have your parent/guardian sign their name as well to indicate that you both understand the code of ethics and agree to adhere to them.

• I will leave the school building at the time indicated on my schedule and not linger around in the building
• If I don’t come to school on a given day, I know that I am not allowed to report to work on the same day, unless approved by Mr. Schneck or the FTHS Administration
• If I am suspended from school, I may not go to work
• I understand that my attendance in school is a reflection of my cooperative education grade. If my attendance exceeds the district’s guidelines, then I will be removed from the program and lose credit for the course
