Performance Benchmarks

For VICA/HOSA/Co-op/Leadership

Membership in the HOSA and/or VICA student organizations is open and encouraged for all students attending SUN Area Career & Technology Center. Students participation in leadership roles, local, district, state and national competitions (including delegates) and cooperative education should represent only the best of SUN TECH students. To insure that this quality is reflected in our students, those competing or participating must meet the following standards:

1. Attendance must be maintained at a 90% level or better.  Exceptions: Extended illness (doctor excused) and pre-approved absences.

2. A grade of 80% or better must be maintained in all courses in which the student is enrolled during the school year. This includes not only the technical program but Math, English, Physical Education, etc.

3. Students must have completed 70% of the required competencies for their chosen Career Objective to participate in the Co-op Program.

4. Discipline issues will be grounds to remove students from leadership roles, participation in competition(s), Cooperative education, internships and other school-related activities. 

Special needs students who are chosen to participate will be screened by a team to determine if they are qualified. The team will consist of the program instructor, the school-wide VICA/HOSA advisor or MD team, the resource specialist and the director.
 

Grading Procedures

The SUN TECH issues a Progress Report with an accompanying task list, instead of a Report Card. The purpose of this Progress Report is to equate the student's progress to industry/business requirements, and will be issued every nine weeks. Grades are based on practical application and theory.

Every student will be required to take a final examination which will be averaged with the four marking period grades. The final exam is one-fifth of the final grade.

At the middle of each grading period, a Mid-quarter Report will be sent to parents / guardians of those students whose achievement is substandard
