November 7th, 2012, is the national day to "Take Your Kid to Work!" Grade nines will have the opportunity to glance into the workplace and discover the links between education and their own futures. Parents, you may want to talk with your supervisor, employer, or union representative ahead of time to set up this up. Let them know that this is strictly an observational experience. At no time will students engage in hands-on activity while on the worksite.
Permission forms will be sent home in October.
