Work Ethic Diploma Deadline
Students may log in to their WETrack account to upload documents, pictures, etc., into their online portfolio as proof that they have earned points under the different WED standards. Because TNN teachers are unable to view the items that students have uploaded, students must e-mail their TNN teacher or Mrs. Cutshaw (cutshawj@hcboe.net) to let the teacher know which WED standard(s) they have earned points based on the item(s) they uploaded.
Students can earn 5 points for passing a voluntary drug test. Students who would like to take a voluntary drug test at this time may want to visit The Rehab Group at 2259 Sandstone Drive, Morristown, instead of using a walk-in clinic (due to increased chance of coming in contact with illness). They offer drug tests for $45. You will get this amount reimbursed when you bring your clean results and receipt to the Hamblen Co. Department of Education when it opens back up to the public. Hold on to your receipt! The Rehab Group office is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 12:00 - 4:30 PM. After you get the test done, upload your results into your account and email your TNN teacher or Mrs. Cutshaw.
TN Promise Community Service
In light of the increasing challenge of finding community service opportunities at this time, tnAchieves has partnered with stakeholders across the state to provide one-hour service webinars to allow students to earn TN Promise community service hours virtually for the upcoming July 1 deadline. The webinars focus on subjects relating to careers, professional development and college success. This is a great opportunity to not only earn service hours, but to also gain exposure and insight to a variety of topics.
Click here to view the virtual service webinar offerings. Webinars can be viewed at any time. Students (not parents) will be required to individually log in to the tnAchieves website to view the webinars in order for attendance to be recorded. You will earn one hour of community service for each webinar that you watch entirely. The fall 2020 community service deadline is July 1, 2020.
Students who view the community service webinars will receive a confirmation email if they click “submit” as instructed upon completion of the webinar. Students can check their hours at any time here:https://tnachieves.org/community-service/check-my-community-service-hours/
