The amount of time and care you put forth in a task leads to great accomplishments. Leadership encompasses the traits of hard work, dedication, and ability to reach out to your peers as a role model. This is a class where you serve as an exemplary student, setting the tone for the entire student body. Not only are the expectations raised for students in Leadership, but also, one who is in the class is someone whom can be relied upon by school faculty and administration. In addition to class time, some Leadership activities are held before school, after school, and on the weekends. A list of all the required activities will be given at the beginning of each quarter. It is imperative that each student attends events for the entire time, and participates in all Leadership hosted events as well as events Leadership helps with or attends. Attendance is an integral part of the success in the Leadership Class. When one committee member is not present, the entire group must compensate for the absent member. Grades will be based on attendance, participation, and attitude during class and at all events. It is inevitable that you understand the duties that come hand-in-hand with the Leadership Class. Please take notice to the many standards set for all Leadership students, and take into consideration that Leadership is a privilege. Because it is essential for student leaders to obtain the resources necessary to achieve maximum success, we do require that all those who are selected to partake in the 2015- 2016 Leadership Class do attend the Leadership Training Week, August 17-21, 2015. Please sign the confirmation below indicating your acceptance to the Attendance and Participation Agreement. _________________________________________________________________ I have read and understand the rules regarding the Attendance and Participation Agreement.
