Senior Shadow Day...and Junior Community Service Day...

The Parkview High School counseling department has been working hard to provide opportunities for Vikings to focus on the future.  That's why November 13th is dedicated to "Senior Job Shadow Day." This will give seniors a day out of school and on the job to observe firsthand how the skills learned in school relate to the workplace by job shadowing a local business of their choice.

Here are the expectations for all seniors:
       
          1.  Make arrangements to shadow your choice business at their location from 8 to 3 on                              November 13th.
          2.  Return the completed permission slip to me, your English teacher, no later than Thursday,
               November 6th.
          3.  Make sure you have transportation to your job shadowing site.
          4.  Be in attendance at your job shadowing site the whole school day, 8 to 3.
          5.  Complete and return the interview assignment on Monday, November 17th.  You will                          receive credit for the completed assignment.  We will blog about the activity.

If you don't participate in the job shadow activity, you must attend school and participate in a written career research assignment.

Juniors will be getting more information about service activities they can participate in on that day. As I understand it, choices might include activities like neighborhood clean up, volunteer work at a local grade school, and so forth.  More information coming from the counseling department.
