Dear 8th Grade Parents,

Your child’s education and future career success is important to us! We recently collaborated with your school to conduct a career exploration activity with all 8th grade students.

Students…

• Toured MCCC labs and classrooms.

• Participated in an Reality Check activity. This activity allows students to explore what their target salary should be to achieve their desired lifestyle.

• Participated in a research activity about different jobs that match their lifestyle choices. During this activity we discussed what kinds of careers might be a good match for them and various pathways to move toward their future career goals.

The MCCC 8th Grade interactive classroom was posted on the Class of 2025 Google Classroom. This is where you can access the activities we provided for the class. We hope you and your student have the opportunity to review it together, continue their career conversation and start developing a plan for their future career success.

If you have any questions about our career exploration activity or the Medina County Career Center, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Teachers will be conducting virtual conferences this year with parents. Teachers will utilize Google Meet to conduct video conferences based on the scheduled time. Teachers will share the appropriate link to Google Meet with parents before the meeting. 

If you need to hold your conference by phone rather than Google Meet, please reach out to the teacher, and they will be happy to accommodate you.

Hey Everyone!

Yesterday Ms. Brooks and Mrs. Miracle talked about gratitude with our student during their weekly Wednesday Check In. With the Holidays among us counselors explained what gratitude meant as well as the impact of having an attitude of gratitude. Discovering happiness isn’t just appreciating new things, but also being grateful for what we already have and the good that other people contribute to our lives and in our world.

Gratitude can boost your mood, your school satisfaction, and relationships. Gratitude can also put a positive spin on stressful times by turning them into valuable lessons.
