Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity to participate in the hiring fair on Thursday, March 20th at the Venue.

The Spring Hiring Fair will be held at The Venue in Gadsden on Thursday, March 20, 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. has been set aside specifically for high school seniors and juniors. Last year there were over 60 different employers at the Spring Hiring Fair and there should be a large number in attendance again this year. Students will have the opportunity to speak with employers, complete job applications and submit resumes. Seniors and juniors that would like to attend should arrive between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. dressed for success with resumes in hand. Mrs. Prince, our Career Coach, will be on hand and the students attending will check in/sign-in with her. Only those students that are signed in with her will be excused. Students will provide their own transportation to the event.

If you are participating, in order to have a school attendance excuse, you will sign in with Mrs. Prince, your career coach, then you will be required to complete a Google Form listing and describing three employer booths you visited, then a reflection of the event.

You have the opportunity to job shadow on Tuesday, April 8th! Job shadowing is a chance for you to get hands-on experience in a potential career field. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity please review the steps below:

1. Contact the business or individual that you would like to shadow and ask if you would be able to come on April 8th. (Be professional!)
2. Fill out the two forms attached with the business information and the time you will be shadowing. (If you need a hard copy please let me know)
3. Return the two forms to me or Ms. Clark's office. DEADLINE is April 3rd!
4. Be on the lookout for an email from me with the day of instructions and your next steps.

Please be aware that we will NOT approve any other date for job shadowing besides April 8th and that you are responsible for transportation the day of. You are responsible for contacting the place you would like to shadow, but I am happy to help you find the person or a business if you are not sure where to start!

Please remember to follow our dress code policy! Remember - Cell phones are not allowed to be out or used in any classroom! Only clear or mesh backpacks allowed in classrooms. Fast food and outside drinks are not allowed in the building! Please throw this away before entering the building.

Students are not allowed to exit the building to go to your car, even if you forgot something you really need! If you need something, you have to go through the office and an admin or SRO will escort you to your vehicle. Disciplinary consequence will apply if you do not follow these procedures!

This will be enforced!

All students that are tardy, checking-in to school or checking out of school MUST GO THROUGH THE FRONT OFFICE. We have a new finger scan system in place (very similar to the lunchroom finger scan system) where each student will scan in or out with check-in/check-outs and tardies.

A parent, guardian, or someone on your check-out list MUST sign you out of school to checkout. This is the same as always. The student must then go through the office to scan out before leaving. This procedure must be followed.

We do not accept over the phone checkouts. Please do not call the school for a checkout. Someone on the students checkout list must come and sign the student out of school. Please do not email to the school for a checkout.

If there are extenuating circumstances or an emergency situation, please contact an administrator or the front office.

Please remember how important attendance at school is! Please don't checkout of school unless absolutely necessary. If you are absent, please turn excuses in to front office.

Students: Encourage a friend this week!
