Interns sign a contract of guidelines at the beginning of the PDS experience. Interns are encouraged to enter into the activities of the school as much as their schedule permits. They are to attend faculty and building inservice meeting. They are encouraged, but not required, to attend a PTO meeting. If they are involved in a grade-level performance, they are expected to fulfill their duties at any scheduled evening performance.
Interns are to attend the parent-teacher conference days.
Interns are to be professionally and appropriately dressed for all school functions. Except on announced spirit days, blue jeans are not considered appropriate dress for interns. Interns are to be present on all school days. If this is a day when class or seminar is scheduled, the intern is responsible for getting notes, assignments, etc. Since there are only five class sessions, and most seminars are a one-time offering, attendance is essential.
