Dear Trojan Families,

Northwestern's Spring Testing & Job Shadowing Day is scheduled for Tuesday, March 25.

9th, 10th, and 12th graders will be off campus job shadowing as this is a great opportunity for students to explore potential career fields by spending the day with a site mentor in their area of interest. Students are responsible for securing their own placement and transportation. We encourage our students to choose a career option that aligns most with their interests and future aspirations. This day is designed to give students a glimpse into the professional world, with a valuable hands-on experience and insights from professionals in various fields. Forms will be distributed in advisory, and they will also be available online. Please begin making plans now to make this a meaningful experience.

11th grade and 3rd year students will be on campus taking the WIN Career Readiness Assessment.

Lastly, tomorrow, March 17th, is a Teacher Workday and students will return to campus on Tuesday, March 18.

In partnership,

Michael Abraham

Principal
