The student teacher is expected to attend his/her cooperating school every day. One half of one day may be used at the co-op if needed. The student teacher will attend all meetings, conferences, and school-related extracurricular events in which the cooperating teacher participates, including Flex days.

Sometimes a student must be absent due to illness or emergency. If this occurs, the following people must be contacted ASAP: the cooperating teacher, the WBC supervisor, and the Education Department Chair. If an excessive number of absences occurs, the student teacher may be required to make up the days missed or to repeat the DST the following semester.

An attendance report will be accurately completed by the student teacher and turned in to the Education Office on the last seminar date. The report from is provided in this handbook, see page 7.
