Shared Responsibilities

Working together 

Shared Responsibilities:

Our ETS staff will work with participants throughout their middle and high school years to plan and prepare for their future. Talent Search will share certain responsibilities with students to help them set and achieve their academic, career, educational, and life goals.

The main responsibility of ETS is to assist students in successfully completing both middle and high school. In addition, ETS helps students to become prepared to enter college and embark upon the career of their choice. 

ETS requires that students take an active role in their own growth and development. Successful ETS students should:

1. Attend school regularly and on time (in person or virtually)

2. Participate in class (in person or virtually) by being an active listener and taking part in discussions

3. Work with my ETS Advisor to create academic goals and work to accomplish these objectives in person or by responding to phone calls, texts, emails and social media messages sent by ETS Advisor

4. Set aside quiet time to study daily and complete all homework and classroom assignments

5. Discuss my school day with my parents/guardians daily

6. Talk to my teachers and ETS Advisor about academic concerns

7. Participate in ETS meetings with advisor during office hours, in group lessons/meetings, college field trips and other ETS sponsored events and sign on to the ETS Facebook, Instagram or Twitter page (if I have parental permission)

8. Attend the ETS field trip/activity, if I turn in a permission slip. If I cannot attend, I will call ahead and cancel. Failure to show up/cancel could result in the loss of field trip privileges

9. Encourage parents/guardians to attend ETS workshops

10. Take messages, permission forms and notices home and return them ON TIME if needed

11. Ask my ETS Advisor for help and utilize tutoring resources when needed
