Everyone in 704 has a job. These jobs follow mostly weekly/monthly cycles that repeat themselves throughout the year. Instead of creating some convoluted system to track accountability and distribute assignments evenly, we work to simplify things.

Each staffer has THREE things they are responsible for each month. It’s what will drive their daily work. It’s what will keep the Hub producing. It’s what grades will be based on.

You are always free to do more than three items, but the minimum that people must do to prove they are highly functional in the class is three.

Threes are chosen every sports season. You can keep the three you have if you are independently operational or highly functional or you will be able to make adjustments if you would like to change.

Your choices are below. Please note that if you choose an option and are selected for it, you are committing to learn how to do it if you are unfamiliar with it.

HERE ARE THE OPTIONS. CHOOSE THREE. Fill out the form on Classroom.
