Career and College Week September 12-16
In all grades we will be talking about the importance of school. Below is an excerpt for the district's website on College Week.
At the elementary level the counselors will organize fun and educational experiences for both students and teachers during College Week.
The purpose of college week, which may include guest speakers, special bulletin boards, art projects and classroom discussion, is to get children thinking about the future. Counselors will go in the classrooms to talk about colleges and how preparing to go to college begins in elementary school with the formation of strong study habits and setting educational goals.
Part of college week will also include discussions of career and training options for people who do not attend traditional college.
Some students may study a specific college in their classroom, making pennants or reading books about the institution. Teachers will share experiences about their colleges with students and outside speakers including administrators and school board members may be invited to visit various school.
