Vocare

List of 6 items.

• Absence Policy

  Normal hours are 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. unless the site has specified otherwise. If a student is sick when she is scheduled to be at her site, both the service site and the attendance line at DSHA must be contacted to inform them of her absence.

• Attire

  Dress in DSHA official polo and business casual pants (khakis, dress pants, etc.).  No skirts, jeans, sweats, leggings, or shorts.

• Cell Phone Policy

  Students may bring a cell phone to their site; however, it may not be visible and may be used only in the case of an emergency and/or to take photos approved by a service site supervisor.

• Homework Policy

  Seniors participating in Vocare cannot be held accountable for work completed by other students in class during their absence, nor can they be made to feel as though they are behind once they return to school. Homework is not to be assigned during Vocare; the focused mission-centered work of Vocare is meant to be the priority and the student service experience during this time is designed to be all-encompassing. Students in AP courses may be allowed to continue reading minimal course material so as not to create an undue burden for themselves upon return, but even AP teachers are required to scale back expectations of students during the Vocare service immersion experience.

• Photos

  Students should ask their service site if they may take pictures 1) for use through DSHA and 2) for personal use. Students are asked to not post pictures from Vocare on their personal social media accounts without express permission from their site supervisor.  Campus Ministry would love to see pictures from service sites if students are given permission. Photos can be emailed to vocare@dsha.k12.wi.us.

• Snow Policy

  If DSHA closes due to severe weather, students should not report to their service site; however, they must contact their service sites to inform them.
