Student Activities

Students may choose to participate in extra-curricular activities conducted by the student body under the supervision
of the School. Field trips to local and national trade shows, beauty supply houses, and area salons provide students
with valuable information, which enhances their in-school educational experiences. From time to time students are
required to pay an admission and/or transportation fee to trade shows or competitions.

Classwork

Students are required to attend all classes, pursue class work diligently, complete all homework assignments,
participate in model workshops, take tests and quizzes, service all clients, complete daily academic folders, and keep
an up-to-date notebook in order to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Refusal to participate requires the
student to sign out for the day, therefore losing training hours. Students must maintain an academic average of 70%
in order to continue in the program.

Students are given an academic folder with weekly class sheets. Weekly class sheets should be dated and completed
on a daily basis. Daily entries on the weekly class sheets must be signed and graded by the instructor at the end of
each day prior to the student signing out of class. Academic folders are the property of PB School and cannot be
removed from the classroom.

Class work or homework that is missed by the student due to an absence is the responsibility of the student to
complete and submit on the scheduled due date.

Missed written tests are to be made up on the first day of the student’s return to school after absence. Failure to
make up a missed test will result in no credit for the student’s final grade and may affect the student’s Satisfactory
Progress.

Practical tests are performed on live models. Students are given advance notice of practical testing dates. Any
practical test that is not performed on a live model will result in a 10-point penalty on the final exam. Missed
practical tests are rescheduled at the discretion of the educator and students will have advance notice to bring in a
live model or will incur the 10-point penalty on the make-up test. If a student misses the rescheduled test date the
final grade will be a zero.

Constitution Day

th
On September 17 of each year or the first day back to school, PB Cosmetology will hold a day dedicated to the
Constitution of the United States. At least three months before holding this event we will actively request
suggestions from both our current student body and staff on how they feel that we could best commemorate the
September 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution.

EXAMINATION AND LICENSURE

Permit Policy

The New Jersey Statutes Annotated 45:5B-25 provides for the issuing of student work permits. Students must
display a copy of their permit both at school and in the salon where they are practicing. Student permits remain valid
only during the period of time that the student is enrolled in an approved cosmetology program. The permit
automatically expires upon a student’s graduation or if the student should withdraw from the program.

The educator, prior to senior status, hands out permit paperwork to his or her students. The paperwork requires a
physician’s signature that declares the student free of any contagious and communicable diseases. The signature of
the physician must be current and expires within 90 days. Permits will not be granted by the state to students whose
physician’s signature is past 90 days. Students without permit paperwork submitted will not be permitted to work on
