A Message From Mrs. Crowder
Hello, Solomon Center and Project Search Families!
We truly have the most dedicated staff. Our staff has worked so hard to get ready for students to return to face to face instruction. They have spent hours in training and nights and weekend planning. The result of all of their hard work is that we have had a fantastic week with students back face to face with students. Thank you to all of the families that have worked so hard to prepare their students to return. They have truly amazed us with the way they have adjusted to all the new rules and procedures.
As we look forward to the weeks ahead we ask that you continue to support us in our efforts to keep students and staff safe. Continuing to have conversations and practicing mask-wearing and hand washing will continue to be very important. Discuss social distancing and the importance of waving instead of giving those high 5's.
We are dedicated to getting students connected to the community and that remains a large component of our programming. That being said, some businesses are not quite ready for us to join them right now, and so we will have a limited number of job sites and internship opportunities for the time being. We are brainstorming opportunities on our campus as well as working with community organizations to possibly bring work into the center for students to do. We are also reaching out to a variety of Plano based businesses to inquire about partnering with them. If you know local business owners that might be interested in discussing a partnership with us please let us know. We would love to chat with them about any opportunities.
Permission Slips for off Campus Learning
You should have received a permission slip for your student to be able to take part in learning opportunities off-campus. Please make sure that you complete the permission slip and return it to your student's Advisory Teacher. Should you wish for your student to remain on campus please let us know that as well.
If you are interested in learning how you can support our young adults please contact Shelley Crowder at shelley.crowder@pisd.edu!
