Getting Ready to "Be the Match"!
Hi Everyone,
Please read the entire blog....there's a lot here.
For the field trip on Wednesday: A.M. Class- Arrive at 8:30 a.m. P.M. Class - arrive at 1:30 p.m. PLEASE DON'T BE LATE. Wear conservative clothing in the event you apply or are requested to interview with one of the facilities represented at the health fair. You may wear your uniform if you'd like.
Here is the web address map for Foothill High School: http://www.foothillfalcons.org/about_us/fhs_map.jsp?rn=8686604
Foothill High School • 4375 Foothill Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588 • Tel: (925) 461-6600
Please remember your parking passes on Wednesday. Park in the lot that is to the right as you face the school. Carpool if you can, as parking will be limited. Meet me in front of the "A" building (in front of the school) and you will be signing in as a visitor to the campus. We'll then walk over to the large gym, (see map). You will then sign in with me on the sign in sheet and we'll start the fun. If for any reason you are unable to attend, a PARENT must call me and assure me that you are at home. Otherwise, I must make arrangements for you to be under supervision at your home school.
Are you low on hours? Consider volunteering during Spring Break. You should have 120-125 hours by the end of March. Many of you are now under 100 - so please meet with me to work on strategies to complete 180 hours by May 28th - last day of internship.
All Students: If asked to assist with specimen collection, please decline. There are liability issues for R.O.P. involved. If you have questions, please contact me.
FHS and AVHS: Prepare your schedules for STAR testing. Ask your school or go on the school website. Let me and your site know about changes in schedule.
Take care,
Mrs. Erceg
