Requirements
In order for Dunlap High School to make the placement, students must have the parent permission form (waiver) signed and your resume handed in to your Homeroom/Advisory Teacher by the deadline. Depending on the nature of employment, you may need to fill out a waiver. For example, to job shadow a police officer, a waiver is needed for the Peoria County Police Department.
Students must follow the requirements sheet located on this page.
If you have any questions about a certain career, please look at the Careers List. Once you choose a career objective in your resume, you are committed to that job shadow career experience. Changes will not be accepted after October 23, 2009.
Students can see Mrs. Stancil in Room S12 if you have any questions or you can email me at astancil@dunlapcusd.net.
