Important Dates

Shadowing

Ask one of your parents to call at least a week in advance to schedule a shadow day from September 12, 2011 to December 22, 2011. Available space fills fast, so don’t wait too long to schedule your day! Have them tell us what your special interests are. If you know a student at Padua, you may request that person as your host. Be sure to get permission from your elementary school if you will be missing classes. For 8th grade students.
