Sharing Mrs. Shaw’s summer office hours with students & families because she works over the summer and wants to be accessible to CSD & South Dorchester students in grades 6-8.

They also help students create goals that lead to success, learn essential skills, organizational skills, create resumes, find internships, apprenticeships, gain self-confidence, offer career counseling, and find part-time employment & real-world opportunities, that help them find success. Mrs. Shaw’s hours during the summer will be 6 a.m. until 4 p.m.. She will be out in the community quite often to be accessible to students. She has collaborated with the Dorchester County Public Library and will be holding open office hours there from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., so students may meet with her there (in the Young Adult section).
