Senior Information <\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Seniors, do you want to graduate with the Work Ethic Distinction? \u00a0This distinction will be useful for presentation to future employers for work-based learning, apprenticeships, and employment in a chosen field after graduation.\u00a0 Employers throughout Tennessee have indicated that students who present a document such as this, indicating desirable work habits, will be given preference for interviews.\u00a0 In order to earn such a distinction, students must exhibit certain characteristics by earning points on a Work Ethic Form.\u00a0 The application form is available in the school counseling office or via this link:\u00a0 www.ortn.edu\/Curriculum\/CCTE\/Work_Ethic.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students who attain at least 20 points on this form may deliver it at any time before April 1st<\/sup>, 2020 to\u00a0Dr. Holly Cross at Oak Ridge High School, room CS244.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the TN Promise standard<\/em><\/strong>, for practicality, there is a statewide COVID-19 exception to the expectation to earn the volunteer hours before earning the Work Ethic Distinction this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most areas selected on the form can be verified in-house by Dr. Cross, once submitted. For those items that cannot be found in Skyward, students must present written verification of items selected. A signed certificate of completion will be provided by Dr. Cross for students to present to potential employers, once earned.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seniors: you can place your graduation supplies order on Thursday and Friday, October 29-30, during lunch only. Jostens will be here to collect your orders. $60 deposit required. An email was sent to you and your parents\/guardians which may answer many of your questions. (10\/26-27) \u2013 T. Ledden<\/p>\n
