Take Our Children to Work Day is an annual event featuring guest speakers, breakout sessions, lunch and time with Big Al. Parents should plan to accompany their children for the entire day.
To participate, employees must have permission from their immediate supervisor. Use of annual leave time to attend the event is at the supervisor’s discretion.
Students with classes on Nov. 19 must have permission from those instructors.
“Parents needing a letter of explanation for their supervisors or professors can request it from the WGRC,” said Paige Miller, program coordinator for the Women and Gender Resource Center. Direct questions and RSVPs to her at cpmiller1@ua.edu.
Nov. 19 is the beginning of Thanksgiving break for Tuscaloosa city and county schools. For children in private schools, WGRC will provide a letter to the principal, who will decide whether the absence is excused.
