Counselor's Corner
Career Awareness Project.......consider asking your significant other to participate! Below information was provided to our parents/guardians/community partners in the parent newsletter.
This year we would like to try something new to allow for more community involvement and to bring more career awareness to our students. The goal of the project is to help students become aware of the variety of jobs in our community. At the elementary level students are introduced to jobs for career awareness, at the middle school there's a continuation of career awareness and career exploration and at the high school level it's career exploration and planning. If you would be willing to create a 3-4 minute video, on your phone or tablet, and talk about what a person in your job does, we'd love to highlight the work you do! All work has value and we are an interdependent society, so really hoping for a wide diversity of jobs to be shared. We would ask that all videos are emailed to Tina Kaiser at kaisert@platteco.k12.mo.us sometime during the month of February. Please consider sharing your job with our students!

Managing The Pandemic / Substitutes Needed
Parents,
You have most likely heard a lot about staffing shortages in schools throughout the metro area. To be as transparent as possible Pathfinder is being impacted by the shortage due to staff illness and lack of substitutes. We begin with finding coverage for classrooms that have the greatest impact on students. At times we are needing to cancel specific content area classes (Reading Improvement, English Learning classes), or we are utilizing staff who are not directly supervising students (Library Aide, Behavior Coach, Instructional Coach). Our coverage process is on a rotating basis so that we are not continually canceling the same content areas.
The main reason we are communicating this information to you is so that you know our plan for continuing the educational process at Pathfinder. However, I do have ulterior motives for getting this communication out!
WE ARE IN NEED OF SUBSTITUTES! If you or you know of someone who may want to substitute in our schools please apply using the below link.
Applicants will need to have at least 60 college credit hours, or complete DESE substitute teacher training
Provide transcripts, and complete a background check.
There will be an onboarding plan to help answer any questions you have regarding the substitution process.
Substitutes are able to choose if they want to substitute for elementary, middle, or at the high school level. You are also able to pick the number of days that you may be available to substitute. Substitute
Teacher pay is $105.00 a day or $14.00 an hour. A full day for a Substitute Teacher is 7.5 hours a day. If a Substitute Teacher works 6.5 hours a day they are paid the full $105.00. If a Substitute works less than 6.5 hours a day, they are paid hourly.
