information regarding instructional programs on an individual basis. Educational opportunities are outlined and explained on our district’s website, in newsletters that are sent home with students, flyers that advertise and inform parents of specific programs occurring throughout the year and on our school calendar and student planners, which each student receives. Additionally, parent meetings are held periodically throughout the year to highlight and review upcoming opportunities for students. Students in WhitehallCoplay School District are provided with ongoing exposure and instruction in career awareness and selection primarily through our developmental guidance program grades K12. In the elementary grades, exposure and awareness is the focus. Students are encouraged to develop a positive work ethic and move toward becoming an independent learner. Exposure to careers is provided through the regular instructional curriculum as well as through guidance classes. At the middle level, students begin to identify career choices by developing an awareness of personal abilities, skills, and interests. Monthly classes addressing a variety of career options are provided through the Minsi Trail Boy Scout Organization to help students become more knowledgeable. Speakers representing different professions meet with students, answering questions and providing resources. Students are introduced to Career Cruising, a webbased career exploration program encompassing interest inventories, through portfolio and career searching capabilities. Each student completes an inventory at the middle level. Students are given tours of LCTI (Lehigh Career and Technical Institute) to help in career and academic selection. LCTI also provides summer career exploratory programs for students, grades 58 which includes a variety of options such as landscaping, computer design, and culinary programs. At the high school level, students participate in a career day at Lehigh Carbon Community College. Counselors play an integral role in coordinating and counseling students regarding individual career exploration. Information and assistance is provided on an individual and group basis to aid students in career and post secondary placement decisions. Information in regard to student’s health needs is communicated to parents through the district’s website, calendar, and individual mailings. Topics of such mailings include BMI physical requirements and reports, health screenings, and various additional health concerns such as lice, tetanus boosters and flu shots. Health screening dates are listed in the WhitehallCoplay School District calendar. The district’s nursing staff communicates regularly with parents by phone or email as individual situations warrant. The nursing staff is available on back to school nights and parent teacher conferences to discuss health room programs and supports available. Parents are informed of the nature and scope of the survey’s and of their relationship to the educational program of their child, consistent with section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act regarding protection of pupil rights when student assessments using individual surveys are administered through the school calendar which is distributed yearly to all parents and guardians. The school calendar as well as school policy # 235 and student handbooks contain information regarding the procedure to opt out of survey participation.
