CAREER CLUB IS SEEKING PARENT VOLUNTEERS
South Lyon East High School Career Club is hosting the South Lyon Community Schools Career Fair event on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, from 6:00PM-8:00PM at South Lyon EAST High School Cafeteria/Commons. Any parent interested in sharing your career expertise with our high school students and families is welcome to be a career representative at this event. Other local career experts from a wide-spectrum of careers have also been invited. Students especially enjoy learning about what adults in the community do for work. This event allows students to interact with industry experts to expand their knowledge and peak their interest.
The SLCS Career Fair is open to all South Lyon Community Schools 9th-12th grade students and their families and aims to help students learn about different careers to further inform students’ career choices. This event is going to be held in an open-house format in which students can walk up to different tables and ask questions about careers. If you are interested in being a parent volunteer as an industry expert, please complete the RSVP form found at the following SLCS Career Fair RSVP link and reply no later than February 27th. Volunteers will be reviewed and accepted until we reach capacity in each of the career clusters listed on the SLCS Career Fair RSVP form. In addition, for the safety of our students, all volunteers are required to be pre-approved by our district. Please complete the form found at the SLCS Volunteer Form Link. Thank you for considering this opportunity to educate our youth!
DUAL ENROLLMENT NOTIFICATION
CURRICULUM FAIR
Prior to the fair, we will hold an optional informational meeting for the class of 2027 and their families beginning promptly at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium.
The Curriculum Fair benefits all of our students and parents as it provides an orientation for incoming ninth-graders, as well as an opportunity for all of our current students (9th-11th graders) to converse with teachers about courses students may be considering next year. In addition, students will have the opportunity to ask questions about clubs and activities which are an essential part of our high school experience. Parents and students will be able to meet with department facilitators in the Academic Pathways from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
We hope that all parents and students will be able to join us for this informational evening!
