Dear Junior Parents:
We have scheduled a Job Shadowing day for the juniors. They will be job-shadowing a person and a career of their choice on Wednesday, March 4, 2009. Miss Wendel will be working with them in English III on interviewing, resumes, and job applications. Hopefully, these activities will help your son/daughter next year when it comes to choosing a major or program of study as well as which college or vocational school to attend.
In order for your son/ daughter to job shadow, they must make arrangements with me and the person that they want to shadow. They should shadow someone in line with their career interest and with someone or someplace that they have NOT worked before and someone other than their own parents. They are allowed to go any place that they want, which could include Aberdeen, Fargo, Jamestown, Oakes, etc. They should be able to get wherever they are going by 9:00 AM and stay until at least 3:30 pm. The person they are job shadowing will have to verify that they were there and complete a brief evaluation of the student.
Your son/daughter needs to have the enclosed permission slip signed by you (parent or guardian) before they are excused for the day. If you have any question, please call me at 349-3232.
Sincerely,
Jane Reisenauer
Guidance Counselor
Ellendale High School
