School/Business Partnership

"Businesses Readily Involved in Developing Genuine Education"
​Why is there a need for a School/Business Partnership?
  • Develop a positive relationship between the school and community businesses.
  • Provide opportunities for students to gain knowledge about career paths.
  • Provide the community with graduates who are knowledgeable in fields within Washington and surrounding areas.
  • Provide students with positive role models within our community.
In what way can a business contribute to the partnership?
  • Guest Speaker: Speak to a class on a topic related to an occupation/business to facilitate a connection between curriculum and the world of work.
  • Mentoring: Meeting with a student for a designated, on-going period of time to tutor, provide encouragement, and be a positive role model. (Currently at Fifth St. School Only)
  • Tours: Allow students to tour the actual workplace.
What is the process for engaging in a partnership?
  • A teacher or School/Business Partnership Liaison will contact a place of business to participate in the School/Business Partnership program.
  • A discussion will occur between the teacher and the business member to determine the goal and the expectations of the partnership.
  • The Partnership Activity Form may be completed by the teacher in collaboration with the business partner to aid in planning the event.
