March 10, 2019 Woodsville High School

Woodsville High School will be hosting a “Student Professional Development Day” on March 28, 2019 from 8:30 a.m., to 3:00 p.m. We will have twelve stations set-up for twelve groups (roughly 16 students per group) to alternate through the different stations throughout the school day. A schedule will be sent to all teachers on Tuesday. We have combined Roundhouse groups with teachers to participate throughout the day.

The idea behind this event is the various professional development meetings that teachers attend throughout the year- teachers are given an opportunity to attend educational sessions on topics intended to enhance their career. This student PD Day will follow a similar concept – having students attend various sessions on topics that they are interested in, and would teach them life skills that don’t necessarily fit into the everyday curriculum.

We have a half-an-hour in the middle of the day for lunch. The kitchen will be providing bagged lunches the day of the event for students who want hot lunch – their accounts will be charged if they decide they want hot lunch.

Here are the different stations:

1. Haverhill Fire Department – Fire Career

2. DHMC – Bike Safety, will hand out helmets and have an injury booth on prevention. In addition Driving Safety from the Brain Injury Institute at DHMC

3. Oliverian Auto – How to change a tire

4. Abby’s Boot Camp – – Boot Camp

5. WRSB – Finances

6. EMT – First Aid

7. Cottage Hospital – Dietician/Nutrition

8. Grafton County Attorney’s Office – Sexting laws, internet

9. NH Department of Employment Security – Job Match System

10. Sheriff’s Department – The New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force – Evening event for parents, starting at 6:30 p.m.

11. Haverhill Police Department – Roadside Emergency (or) What to do if you are pulled over?
