On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week, High School teachers will be manning tables during lunch time, providing information about the Global Citizenship Week courses they sponsor. This is a time for students to walk around at lunch and check out the courses, ask questions, and begin to think about the courses that they are interested in for February’s GCW.
On each day a different 13 courses will be showcased. See below for the schedule for each day.
Parents are welcome to join us on the day and walk around to check out the courses. You can also read about the courses, including cost and possible community service hours awarded, by downloading our GCW Course Handbook.
Please remind your child(ren) that they should be aware of 5 or more courses that they would like to join. Courses do fill up during registration and students must sign up for courses in order of preference. They are assigned to their highest preference available at the time of sign up.
