Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are very excited about hosting our 4th annual Career Day here at Gwin Oaks Elementary School. Throughout this school year in the (STEAM) Science Technology Engineering Arts Math Lab fifth grade students have had the opportunity to research and write an informational paper on what they would like to do when they grow up. As a part of meeting the requirements for the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI), our own fifth grade students will host career day. The details regarding Gwin Oaks Elementary School Career Day are below.
Friday, May 12, 2017 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
In presenting, students must adhere to the following:
*“Dress the part,” please.
*Help other students understand the "typical day in the life" of the professional.
*Share "your story." What made you choose this career to research?
*Inform students what education is needed/stress the point of excelling academically.
*Create a brief demonstration for students to participate and engage in.
*Bring necessary props to make for an unforgettable delivery.
*State salary range.
In order for you to help your child prepare for this day, I have placed the script that students are expected to be able to communicate on the portal in E-Class. They have worked on this script during class as well.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you again for allowing your child to be a part of such a wonderful event.
