OJT Time Cards Past Due

If you are in OJT, you need to be more responsible with your time cards. These are considered legal documents for our school. If they are not turned in by the date 3/6/09 you are subject to review and removal from OJT.

I have already created a list of students who will be transferred into a regular electives like "Bucks 101" if you are receiving less than a "B" average in this course.

I advise you to see me immediately and check your grade on Pinnacle asap.
