Welcome Back
Welcome back, I am so excited to be back in the office and supporting students.
With the new school year there are a few changes to services. However, none of the changes will affect working together to create you transition plans.
My office days are Wednesday and Thursday with alternating Fridays.
This year, I will be offering virtual (Students and/or Parents) appointments as well as in person (Students only at this time). To book an appointment you can call or text 403-682-9711 or send me an email bazellc@lrsd.ab.ca.
Information for upcoming events (virtual at this time), scholarships, and any other information important to your career exploration and planning will be sent out via the monthly newsletter, student email outs as well as listed on the Career Center calendar (located at the bottom of this page).
I am looking forward to reconnecting,
