Programs of Choice EXPO
Parents, what’s the best education pathway for your student? Find out at the Fort Worth ISD Choices Expo, where you’ll see every program offered, and get plenty of help to find the perfect Gold Seal Program or School of Choice.
Visit the Expo Friday, Nov. 5 from 4-7 p.m. or Saturday, Nov.6, 9-noon, at the Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center. Find more information about the Expo and Gold Seal pathways to college and career success at www.fwisd.org/choice.
The applications for the Programs of Choice open on November 5th and close on December 12th. For more info, visit this website... https://www.fwisd.org/choices
Do you have a hobby you would be willing to share with a group of students?
Please consider volunteering to co-host an after school enrichment club for students. As a volunteer, you would partner with one or more of our staff members to sponsor a group from 3:30-4:30 pm. once a week for 6-8 weeks at a time.
Currently, we have the following enrichment groups on campus:
- Fort Worth After school Program: M-Th 3:00-5:30PM (still some spots open)
- Diamond Painting 3rd grade (full)
- Pearls With Purpose Girls Mentoring Group 3rd-5th grade (full)
- Choir: 4th-5th grade (full)
- Student Council (elected members)
- Ambassadors Boys Leadership Group (Selected students)
Since most of our current groups are full, we are looking for others who would like to start a new group. Please let us know if you would be willing to work with students and help sponsor a club here: https://forms.gle/uaiCvYxei1r8KYX1A
