    ROP

ROP stands for Regional Occupational Program which provides an opportunity for students to learn job skills, find out about a career they may be interested in, gain employment, and select a college major. Elective credit towards graduation requirements can be earned. Some classes meet EGUSD’s visual and performing arts requirement as well as the a-g requirements to attend one of the nine University of California campuses while other classes can lead to industry certification.   ROP has a variety of classes in the areas of Applied Natural Science, Business and Technology, Culinary Arts, Health Science, Medical Technology, Certified Nursing Ass’t, and Performing and Visual Technology, including Animation and T.V. Occupations. Classes are taught at various EGUSD high school campuses.  Some are part of the regular school day while others are taught after school. With counselor approval, students may attend an ROP class that is not at their home school. Transportation to and from all ROP classes is required and is the responsibility of the student.   Here at Pleasant Grove we offer “Fire Science Technician”  within the regular school day. If you are interested in ROP at Pleasant Grove or any other site, please contact Mrs. Aguero in Student Services (ext.4707).   You may also come by and pick up an ROP course catalog and application from Student Services. Info on ROP may also be obtained at the district website www.egusd.net under academics.

     Work Permits  

Students who are planning to get a job soon or currently have a job need to make sure they have a work permit. In order to be eligible for a work permit a student needs to have and maintain a 2.0 GPA, no “F’s” on their last grade report and good attendance. The first step is to come to Student Services and obtain a work permit application. This application needs to be filled out by the student and employer and signed by student, parent/guardian and employer. You then turn your completed application into Mrs. Aguero. Your actual “work permit” will be available for pick up from Student Services within 2 days from receipt of the completed application. Please see Mrs. Aguero for questions.
