GP Presentation Night is Tuesday, May 7

 

All mentor training will occur online this year, unless the mentor contacts me to set up a time to be trained.

These sessions normally last no longer than 20-30 minutes. Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions:  

(828-396-2188), pharmon@caldwellschools.com

MENTORS ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF TRAINING ONLINE. GO TO THE MENTOR TRAINING TAB, COMPLETE THE TRAINING POWER POINT, THEN EMAIL ME THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED TRAINING. I WILL THEN EMAIL YOU THE NECESSARY FORMS.

All mentors must be trained in order to participate in the Graduation Project. If you were trained last year for the Caldwell County Graduation Project, you do not need to go through the training again. We appreciate your support
