The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is pleased to encourage Grade 9 student participation on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 in Take Our Kids to Work 2024!   

Take Our Kids to Work Day (TOKTWD)  is an experiential opportunity designed for Grade 9 students to experience “A day in the life” of a profession or workplace. The goal of the program is to help Grade 9 students make connections between school and the world of work, as they begin to think about possible career pathways. Grade 9 students can spend the day in the workplace of a parent/guardian, relative, friend or colleague job shadowing. This experiential program is supported by The Students Commission of Canada SCC 2024. Take Our Kids to Work Day (TOKTW) has a long history of being a successful opportunity for students to gain real world experience in the workplace. 

If your student does not wish to participate, they may go to school and attend their regular classes. 

Parents/Caregivers must give permission for their student to participate.  Permission forms are available via School Day, hard copies are available in the Guidance Office or a PDF copy.

Permission forms should be submitted via School Day/returned to the Guidance Office by Tuesday, November 5, 2024 in order for students’ attendance to be updated.
