Take your kids to work day

November 14th, 2018 is Take Our Kids to Work Day in BC.  Students in Grade 9 are able to join their parents, grandparents or friend's parents at their worksite to learn more about what it's like to work in various careers and environments.

Ms DeYoung has application forms on her counselling office door.  They need to be returned to her at school BEFORE the November 14th event.  Students will not be excused from classes unless they have turned in their consent forms or have a note from parents saying they were ill on that day.

Any students NOT attending a work site are expected to be at school in their regularly scheduled classes!

Students MUST hand in their Student Planning sheet by November 20th to Ms. DeYoung in order to receive a completion mark that is included in the HCE 9 coursework.
