The Center is always open to students during the day and was open to parents four times in just the first month of school. She is more than willing to schedule appointments with parents in the evenings, and has done so previously. At the College Partnership meeting, she presented information that was pertinent to minority students and provided Planning Portfolios in Spanish. They receive handouts at this time focused on the process toward further education. Students continue to visit the Center during their years at Edison for more specific information.
Communication is the key factor here.
The Center appears to be making every effort to communicate with students and parents about career opportunities. Students must take some responsibility to check out published events or listen to the announcements. Parents must take responsibility to read the information sent home via the PTSA Newsletter and Guidance Newsletter, as well that given in specific mailings. The only additional communication piece that I can suggest would be to provide more information in Spanish. The PTSA Newsletter should also do this.
