Connecting Activities 

1.      Please provide a scope and sequence of your system of sustainable connecting activities.   

       Year Two 

·         All freshmen will complete the foundation course and will begin their portfolio.

·         Sophomores will continue to develop information research skills

·         Every junior will attend the Work Place Readiness course and begin or continue their portfolio

·         Interested seniors can work on an electronic portfolio 

This is the start-up year for student involvement. 

The connecting activities listed in the original demonstration site grant have little to do with raising the achievement or motivational levels of the students. Vinal with its every day, pre-grant  programs, far exceed grant specifications. 

There is no scope or sequence in the connecting activities. They primarily address increasing communication between the community, the sending schools, and Vinal. 

2.      Provide a comprehensive list of all connecting activities that include but are not limited to: community and private sector outreach (not prospecting or job acquisition), career days, parent connections, appearances before civic or trade organizations, career field trips, non-service delivery model. 

Summer tech-camp, open houses, business expo, kindergarten kids, 7th & 8th grade pen pals, trade expo, student teams, and informational and educational display at the Durham Fair, participation in Chamber activities
