OR download and and print a copy of permission slip here:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TTErdnE67tvuYdMc0d_MvsxBPp15_9rR3pEPFM6WKUA/edit?usp=sharing

 

 Permission slips due SIGNED by both parent and teachers for periods 2-5 by March 17 to Mrs. Dorsch. 

CONSTRUCTION / SCIENCE/ TECHNOLOGY APPRENTICESHIP FAIR - Wednesday, April 9, periods 2-7 (or earlier).  Please join Mrs. Dorsch and Mrs Okun at this event at Chase Field to meet reps from various construction employers to learn about job opportunities (for graduating seniors), career paths and possible APPRENTICESHIP opportunities!  

Bring our resume to share with potential employers.  

This event will be attractive to any students interested in construction or construction management.  Career opportunities in the Construction Science Technology Professions are open to anyone wanting to have a meaningful career and earn high wages without the debt associated with a four-year degree. In fact, apprenticeship programs offer training and on-the-job experience while earning a paycheck at the same time. There are few industries that offer this type of earn-while-you-learn opportunity.

Please RSVP at https://forms.gle/ttcnwyQ4t53ay8i29 and pick up a permission slip from the Guidance Office rm 5109.  Permission slips due SIGNED by both parent and teachers for periods 2-7 by April 1.
