Save the Date! Career Share for the Guys Recruitment Coming SOON!
What is Career Share for the Gals?
Throughout the school year we want to give parents the opportunity to visit their child's classroom during a prearranged date/time. We call these visits Career Share as we will ask you to share the relevance of education in their daily lives while you visit your child's classroom.
We invite the "Guy" family members to visit during the first semester and invite the "Gal" family members to visit during the second semester. On Friday, September 30, 2016 we will hold our annual morning kick off in the gym where the Guys will sign up for a time later in the semester to visit their child's (children's) classrooms. If you are unable to attend this Career Share for the Guys kick off event on Friday, September 30, 2016, you can still schedule a Career Share visit with the classroom teacher(s) directly. A special adult family member or family friend is welcome if a student's dad is unable to participate.
Again, we will hold a similar kick off event in January where we recruit the Gals!
Save the date.... January 13, 2017 from 8:00 to 8:30am!
What do I do when I return for a Career Share Classroom Visit?
