What are Career
Treks?
Career treks are Career related field trips organized
through Mrs. Oakes, the Career Advisor.
These are supervised and take place during the school day.
How Do I Get A
Permission Slip for a Trek?
Students can either email Mrs. Oakes at
moakes@d211.org or pick up a slip in the
Media Center or from Mrs. Bryk in Student Services for a specific upcoming
trek…or download a generic permission slip from this site and fill in the
information.
All permission slips must include teacher initials and parent signatures.
Many treks have limited slots available. The first signed permission slips turned into Mrs. Bryk in Student Services are guaranteed a space on the trek.
What is a Job
Shadow?
Job Shadows are a one time, unsupervised, one on one
experiences with a professional. Initial
phone contact is made via Mrs. Oakes.
Students then contact the professional to set up a time and day for the
shadow. Parents are responsible for
