Take Our Kids to Work™ day is a national program that has existed since 1994, providing students the opportunity to shadow a parent/guardian or family friend in their place of work for a day.
This event is considered a board-wide, sanctioned field trip. There are two permission forms for this event, which will be sent home with all grade 9 students on Thursday, October 19th, after an assembly put on by the guidance department. Students should return them to their period 2 teacher by Thursday, October 26th.
Grade 9 students can participate with a parent/guardian, family friend, relative, a friend’s parent, or they can participate in a virtual event. Carleton University is hosting a virtual event. For more information and to register, see here: TOKTWD Registration
