The
1st step in preparing for your future is to
explore your career options.
Look for a career that revolves around activities
that you enjoy. Look
for colleges, universities, or technical schools that
prepare you for your career choice.
Visit as many of the campuses as you can.
Get prior approval from Mrs. Weeks or Mr. Dunn before
you are absent from school for campus visits.
Also, upon return, bring with you some sort of
verification of your visit. Also note that your absence will be excused in that you will
be allowed to do any make-up work, however, the absence will
count against you in regard to 9-week exam exemptions.
