Work Study is a program in which senior students are permitted to earn credit for working part-time. Students may leave school after 4th or 5th hour each day. Students may have a work schedule that is not during the time of 5th and 6th hours, but the credit is earned through the hours, not the time of day.
Students MUST have a part-time job prior to applying for work study. If you do not currently have a job, you will NOT complete this application at this time. You need to select your electives for a full day of classes for all 6 hours. Once you obtain a job, you can complete the application and have your schedule adjusted by your counselor.
Students are required to complete the comparable number of hours per week at his work site that is reflective on his/her class schedule. 1 period = 90 hours/semester = ½ credit, 2 periods = 180 hours/semester = 1.0 credit, and 3 periods = 270 hours/semester = 1.5 credits. Students taking work study for more than 2 hours are not eligible for KEES money their senior year.
