Parents
This summer the district was given funding that allowed us to purchase Career Exploration and Readiness programming that is going to be used heavily in grades 6, 9, and 11 this year. We are asking that ALL students get this permission form completed so the program can be used in other courses. Our 11th and 12th grade parents should know that there are college and military test preparation opportunities in the program, too!
If you haven't done so yet, please complete the new permission for this program. In future years it will be included in the main digital permission form but it was a late addition this year.
Students in grades 6, 9, and 11 may be using activities in this program for homework so it is CRITICAL that those grades get it completed as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help!
