Dear Career Center Community,
We are pleased to welcome you and your child back to the 2021-22 school year, and look forward to seeing you at Back-to-School Night on Wednesday, October 6, at 6:30 pm at the Career Center.
In order to take appropriate steps to align our program with CDC recommendations and District COVID protocols, attendance will be strictly limited to ONE parent/guardian for this year’s event. Students are not permitted to attend Back to School Night with their parent/guardian.
As you know, Back to School night gives parents/guardians an opportunity to visit their child’s classrooms and meet their child’s teachers in an in-person setting. However, due to the size of most classrooms at the Career Center, we will only be able to accommodate one parent/guardian per family, with no virtual “live streaming” option for those unable to attend.
For the safety of both parents and family members, we also ask that all attending parent/guardian complete the COVID Self-Assessment survey, using the link provided, and remain appropriately masked at all times during the event.

Please reach out to my office if you have any questions or concerns.
