Parent Survey -
As a part of the North Kansas City Schools' focus on redefining the high school experience to ensure that our students are college career ready, our high schools are implementing industry-themed career pathways. The industry themes are designed to create relevance and connect content in core subject areas to expose students to learning based on their individual interests and aptitudes. This year's New Mark 8th graders will be the second freshman class to participate in this exciting new learning experience at Staley next year!
At the middle school level, we want to expose our seventh and eighth graders to a wide variety of professions and vocations so that students can begin to determine which pathway they might want to pursue in high school. The four pathways and examples of careers aligned to these fields can be seen in the image below.
We are looking to involve New Mark's larger community in this process and are looking for guest speakers and mentors from each of these pathways to share their expertise, knowledge, and advice with our students. Please take a moment to complete the survey to let us know about your professional and/or vocational backgrounds and your willingness to partner with our students.
Thank you for your time and your support!
