Job shadowing will take place during the month of February and is for eighth grade students only. Completed forms are due to me by Friday, January 30. Please note that no late forms will be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made.
I will be happy to assist students with locating a job shadowing site when possible; however, placements cannot be guaranteed. Please have all completed forms returned directly to me in my box in the front office or by email.
If additional copies are needed, I am including a link to the forms for printing. I will provide a spreadsheet of names and job shadowing dates of students who have returned completed forms with legitimate job shadowing sites to you as quickly as possible. I will also provide job shadowing packets to students that includes all necessary follow-up documentation necessary for this to be an approved school absence.
Please remind students that all requests for Newberry Hospital placements must be sent via email to Laurie Suber, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at lsuber@sdnc.org.
If you or your students have any questions about job shadowing, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to assist students in any way I can.
Thank you for your support in helping make this opportunity successful for our students!
