For students wanting to participate in Work Based Learning during the School day, a student must complete the following student to avoid an unexcused absence: 

1. Take the WBL Verification Form with you to your experience, complete it, and submit it to the Student Services Office with the appropriate signatures within three days of your experience. 
2. Complete the reflection

Once the two steps have been satisfactorily completed, a students attendance code will go from “Unexcused” to “School Related”. School Related absences do not show up on a high school transcript.
