FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Since we don't use Canvas, where do I direct students for their quiz?
A: To access the quiz, all they need to do is scan the QR code on the time card, which will lead them to the page with the quiz link. Once they check the box on their time card confirming completion, they are good to go. If they skip the quiz or do not pass, I will notify you via email. Rather than tracking quizzes, we encourage you to invest your time in engaging with them about their internship experiences and providing guidance on how to successfully navigate the professional world.
Q: I see that I have new students in my internship class on PowerSchool. Have they completed the initial requirements and been place with an employer, or should I remove them from PowerSchool?
