9th Grade Parent Night

A 9th grade parent presentation will be held on Oct. 30th starting at 6:00 pm--the same night as parent-teacher conferences.

This presentation will last about a half hour and will provide valuable information that parents should know about the importance of a student's high school career and post-secondary planning. More information on this presentation can be found in the letters that were sent out last week. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope to see you on Tuesday night!

Nursing as a Profession Day @ JC

An exciting nursing event will take place on the Jamestown college Campus on Wednesday, November 14th. Nursing as a Profession Day is designed for any current high school junior or senior who is considering a career in nursing. Students who attend will get an overview about the nursing profession and will attend 3 breakout sessions (two of which include the use of SimFamily--computerized and interactive mannequins, adding a life-like learning experience):

• Nursing procedures
• Save a life (cardiac life support)
• Deliver a baby!

Lunch will be provided, and a tour of the Jamestown Regional Medical Center will follow.

There is no cost for attending this event. Please talk to Ms. Hendrickson if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity.
