*Internship/Job Shadow: Instead of coming to school, middle school students will go to their “jobs” on March 21-23rd. Students need to tell us where they will be working by this Friday, March 18th (form is in their Google Classroom). Students were given a paper copy of the Internship packet which they, and their supervisor, need to fill out to receive a grade. Filled out packets need to be turned in on Thursday, March 24th (grade for this project is based on the completed packet). If your student has already misplaced their packet, we attached a copy 🙂
