As a student in the Entertainment Marketing program, you will often be expected to work and act independently and in small groups inside and outside the classroom. You will also handle and operate a variety of video and audio equipment and be responsible for this equipment in a wide variety of situations. Please read and ensure that you understand the following:
I will act professionally and courteously at all times inside and outside of the Entertainment Marketing classroom. Student expectations and professional standards are included in the Program Handbook.
I will follow all rules of student behavior outlined on pages 15-20 of the St. Clairsville High School Student/Parent Handbook while outside of the classroom.
I will handle video and audio equipment with care and respect and return all equipment to the designated area at the end of each class period. I understand that adjustment points tripods and other equipment must be unlocked before they can be moved.
I will properly weigh down all lighting and equipment stands. Any incandescent lights must cool for a minimum of 5 minutes before they can be safely handled. All lights must be sand-bagged to avoid equipment damage and/or personal injury, and light stands should be lowered before a light is repositioned.
I understand these expectations and will follow them to the best of my ability. I understand that I am responsible for my actions inside and outside the classroom, and my failure to meet these expectations will result in loss of privileges, including my ability to check out equipment, access to RDP.chat, or travel outside of the classroom during my class period.
Students recieve a printed copy of this agreement along with a copy of the Classroom Expectations and Professional Standards located on the Student Expectations page of our Program Handbook. One copy is signed and given to Mr. Weaver, and another copy is kept in student notebooks.
Equipment may be checked out from 2:00PM - 2:15PM. Equipment is due back the next school day before 1st period, and all items must be properly checked out using the Equipment In/Out Form before they leave the classroom.
Before checking about equipment, make sure you can communicate with Mr. Weaver outside the classroom:
The Rocket.Chat app is a requirement to check out equipment. If you do not have a compatible mobile device or internet access, please see Mr. Weaver for alternatives.
These professional standards will help launch your career or college education. They will apply just about anywhere life takes you.
