Sublette BOCES will be offering Monday – Thursday youth class options for the 15-16 school year.

In the past we have helped supplement the 4-H program with great success. 4-H will no longer be able to offer this program after the 14-15 school year. The classes BOCES will offer will be similar in nature. Information will be sent home from school but for now take a look at the changes we’ve got planned:

1. Registration will be at www.subletteboces.com like all other BOCES class.
2. Registration will be done each month and you’ll have the flexibility to select classes only on the days of the week you would like your child to attend (this helps with other programs from other facilities).
3. Each day of the week is a different class and each class has a different theme:
   1. Monday: STEM
   2. Tuesday: You Choose Tuesday
   3. Wednesday: Arts, Crafts & Life Skills
   4. Thursday: Cultural Discovery
   5. Friday: The Pinedale Aquatic Center will be offering all Friday early release options. Please contact them directly for more information (367-2832)
4. BOCES classes will cost $15/month/class (example: 1 month of Monday STEM classes will cost $15).
5. We will not be taking checks or cash. All online registration will require the use of a credit or debit card (scholarships are available for students in the Free & Reduced Lunch program).
6. Registration will open at least 2 weeks prior to the beginning of each month and close 24 hours prior to the start of a class.

Some things that will NOT change will be:

1. The activity bus will continue to run from PES to BOCES where the students will be picked up by one or more BOCES instructors.
2. Pick-up will also stay at BOCES at 5:00 pm.
3. A late fee of $15 will be charged to your credit/debit card for any pick-up after 5:15 PM.
4. After school snacks will be provided.

We hope these changes will add to your child’s learning experience here at BOCES. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments: (307) 367-6873 or kraney@sub1.org .

Can you believe it’s already mid-April?

We have some new classes starting in the next couple of weeks that are worth checking out!

On April 20th we have our Morning Pottery class for those of you who have some daytime hours. Our Stained Glass Beginners class starts the next evening on the 21st. Both are wonderful skills to have. You’ll leave with amazing art for your home that’s one-of-a-kind.

The next week starts Tasting Nutrition on Tuesday the 28th. This is one of those classes you’ll be glad you took. Jordan McCoy from the Teton County UW Extension office will be teaching this one night only class on cooking (and tasting) more nutritiously.

Our Willow Furniture class is that same night but, sadly, it’s been full for months. It’s one of our most popular classes and you’ve got to be quick to get in.

The BOCES News page is your best bet for comprehensive information on new happenings here year round, so keep checking back.

 

This May 1st the Sublette County Chamber of Commerce, Sublette BOCES, Sublette County School District #1, and the University of Wyoming Extension are hosting a Professional Development and Career Fair. We’re partnering to bring early education in career readiness to include volunteer-ism, resume building, professional appearance, exploration of potential fields and possible internships.

The primary goal of the event will be to facilitate networking, increase interest in career fields and create the potential for mentoring. This event is scheduled for May 1st, 2015 at the Sublette BOCES building located at 665 N. Tyler Ave. in Pinedale. We’re hoping to welcome around 260 youth from 8th-12th grades. Our  plan is to have a speaker  provide students with an overview on professional appearance and resume building. Post-presentation the kids will have the opportunity to attend smaller break-out sessions with panels of local professionals for one-on-one discussions. Professionals from all types of fields will be available for questions.

For more information please call (307) 367-6873 or email kraney@sub1.org .

An opportunity for collaboration among local youth and business!
