Hello ALL Parents-                       (Students - PLEASE show this or print for your family)

I am looking forward to working with your students on the next part of our journey - the internship.  This internship starts on Monday, December 2nd and ends on June 6, 2014.

Students have been assigned to their sites and if there are any questions about the internship, please call me TOMORROW, Friday, November 22nd at (925) 606-4800 x3640.  If there is an urgent matter during the holiday, you may call my cell phone (510) 305-5111.

PHONE CALLS:  Students and I are out at sites Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  On those days, students and parents call me on my cell phone.  Students and parents are to expect a response from me in 5 MINUTES via call or text.  If that response is not received, please try calling me directly.

On WEDNESDAYS we are back in the classroom, so please call me at (925) 606-4800 x 3640.

EMAILS:  You may email me anytime with any non-urgent matters:  lerceg@lvjusd.k12.ca.us


ABSENCE NOTIFICATION:

Students are to call me before 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence to inform me that they will not be going to site and they must also call their site supervisor.  This is good practice!  PARENTS: please call or text me on my cell as soon as possible on the day of the absence to excuse your son or daughter.  I must have parent authorization for every absence.  Students MAY NOT leave the site before the end of their shift without notifying instructor/parent.

TIME SHEETS:  Must be signed by a staff member or supervisor each Friday, or at the end of their week. These are turned in to me each Wednesday.  Grade is affected if a signed time sheet is not turned in each Wednesday, starting on 12/11 (for the week of 12/2).  HOURS: Students must complete a minimum of 180 hours in order to receive a certificate of completion for the course.  I encourage students to be in the "Over 200 Hours Club" - looks great on the resume'.

UNIFORMS: Students must wear their ROP badge.  They must also wear ROP uniforms unless otherwise indicated (some sites require different attire - call me about that).  Hair up and back for the girls, boys - clean shaven and if there is a beard or mustache, it must be perfectly groomed each day.  Make up for the girls - minimal and natural looking.  A professional looking light jacket or sweater may be worn.  Shoes are to be navy, black or white, sturdy and clean. 

CC BINDER:  All students MUST carry their community classroom binder to site each day.  They are to journal their experiences each day they are at site.  This binder must be with them when them come to the classrooms on Wednesdays as well.

CELL PHONES:  Students are not allowed to have cell phones with them at their site.  This is a violation of program rules.  If there is a concern, a parent must contact me.  Thank you.

EMERGENCIES:  Parents call my cell phone to inform me and I will immediately contact the student at site, as I have direct line numbers. Student have made 5x8 cards with teacher and parent phone numbers as well so the site can inform us of any concern at the site.




Next blog, which is on an unusual day, will be on SUNDAY, DEC. 1 to wish them luck and give them any info they need prior to the start of internship.

The blog entries are usually M-F and are to be check each weekday evening - very important, as this is my communication tool to stay in touch during the week.

THANK YOU and have a wonderful holiday!!!

Mrs. Erceg
