Co-op Protocal
Most students in co-op are insured under WSIB. If you are injured at work it is important to follow some basic steps.
1. Seek First Aid
2. Tell your employer
3. Contact your teacher
If your injury requires treatment or may require treatment at a further time, forms need to be filled out within a certain amount of time.
Bad Weather?
Co-op operates differently than the regular WCI schedule upon inclement weather. If buses are cancelled and WCI is open for study purposes only, co-op students are still expected to go to co-op if they can do so safely. If you are a bused student and cannot make it into town, contact your employer and your teacher to let them know you are unable to make it to the placement.
Extra Hours
If you work outside of co-op hours (as written on your wsib form) you must fill out the Extra Hours Log Sheet. You will need a signature from your supervisor, parent/guardian and teacher PRIOR to working those extra hours.
Illness
If you are sick you must contact your supervisor, the school AND your teacher.
If you have a field trip you should ask your supervisor if it is okay to attend. If it is approved you need to notify your co-op teacher as well.
Cell Phones​
What do you think??? That's right! Turn off your cell phones when you are at co-op. The biggest complaint I get is that students are on their cell phones and not showing enough initiative.
