Principal’s Ponderings

By Mrs. Schaar

Helping Students Plan for Success!

Most 6th grade students are not thinking about want they want to do for a future career; instead, they are only considering what might happen in the next ten minutes. One of our responsibilities as adults is to lead them in a direction that will prepare them for the best possible future. This involves early planning and guidance that continues into their High School career and beyond. At Greenville Middle School we have quite a variety of opportunities to help guide students into possible career choices. These experiences begin in the fifth grade and build upon that guidance in the sixth grade. As a district, state, and society it is essential to guide our children into a pathway of choices for their future that includes specific job training, a variety of educational opportunities and is based on the needs as well as interest of the whole child.

The opportunities afforded in the fifth and sixth grade at Greenville Middle School are just the first steps in the journey children take to become productive citizens with employable skills. It is the natural path taken to honor the task given to the school district by our Board of Education and community. We will educate students based on each child’s needs and encourage a greater understanding of themselves as they plan for a successful and productive future. Though most fifth and sixth graders aren’t thinking beyond the next ten minutes there’s a plan in place in Greenville City Schools to facilitate their growth, achievement and future success.

Those interested in additional information regarding tools and support for career exploration should investigate the online resources available through the Ohio Department of Education. OhioMeansJobs K-12 is one highly recommended planning tool but there are many available.
