Don't Be A Couch Potato…Register for High School!
Aug. 13, 2004
Do you know someone who hasn't registered for high school? It's not too late!
Plan to attend a one-stop high school registration event from noon to 8 p.m.
Tuesday, Aug. 17, at the Burton Barr Central Library, 1221 N. Central Ave.
Staff from more than 40 high schools will be in attendance to register students
for the school of their choice, including those that offer resources to bilingual
students. City staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide additional
resources to the Latino community. Valley Metro staff also will be available
to help students find the best route to school.
"Our goal is to help schools bring back students to school. This is another
example of the city of Phoenix using its resources to help reduce the dropout
rate in Phoenix," said Councilman Greg Stanton, District 6, and chairman of
the City Council Education Subcommittee.
The event is sponsored by know99 Television, the city of Phoenix youth and
education cable channel, which can be seen in Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe and
parts of Scottsdale on Cox Cable channel 99 and Qwest Cable channel 20. The
station telecasts a variety of educational programs that include math, science,
foreign languages and other educational programs for learners of all ages.
For more information about the event, call 602-534-5669.
