JA Fellows Online Parent/Guardian Consent Form

Your student is taking a step toward his or her future by applying to be a JA Fellow. This form should be reviewed & digitally signed by you and your student to demonstrate your understanding of the commitment to be a JA Fellow. In addition to reviewing the website & the F.A.Q, please take the time to review the information below.

Students must regularly attend all scheduled sessions, including announced Saturday and special events, barring unforeseen circumstances, and must notify their JA Fellows colleagues, JA Fellows staff & volunteers in advance of any planned absences or tardiness. Students also understand that should their attendance falter or should their behavior not reflect the high standards of the JA Fellows program, their position in the program will be forfeit. Students and parents/guardians also understand that action during the week between sessions will be necessary for students to achieve success.
Communication between JA staff, volunteers, and students is vital. Therefore, students must have an e-mail account that they check regularly. We also encourage Parents/Guardians to provide us with an e-mail address so that we can keep you informed about your student's progress.
Valid transportation must be secured for weekly meetings if MARTA or other public transportation is not accessible.
Professionalism in demeanor and commitment is expected by students accepted into the program.
A GREAT ATTITUDE!

The Student Application Process will consist of:

Online Application (including essay)
Online Recommendation (submitted by the Recommender)
Online Parent/Guardian Consent Form (submitted by Parent)
In-Person Interview

After students have completed the application and interview process and have been accepted to the program, they are expected to follow all rules and guidelines that have been explained throughout the application process. At any time, if expectations are not met, students will and can be asked to leave the program. We reserve the right to release students at will.

Completing the following statement constitutes the digital signature of both student & parent/guardian.

I give my student permission to participate in the 2011-2012 JA Fellows program year. I understand the expectations and requirements of the program and I support them.
