NOTE: If you are an intern working at one of our elementary summer camps, please use information from Tables 1 and 2 to initially select your priority work location(s) and eventually to plan your schedule.  Select your work location in Table 2 and then review Table 1 to see when you will begin and end your workday based on whether your school is an early or late starting camp location.

 

Example:  If you will be working as an intern at Brock Bridge Elementary School, Table 2 tells you it is a late start school.  Then look at Table 1 to learn when Late Elementary Schools begin and end their days.  You will see that you are expected to arrive by 9:15am and will end your internship day at 4:45pm.
