The fourth Thursday in April of each year has been designated as National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work® Day (this year it falls on April 25, 2019). The program was created by the Ms. Foundation for Women as an educational experience for daughters and sons. It provides an opportunity for daughters and sons to become more aware of their parents’ work day, and encourages them to think about their own futures. A student in our school system that is participating in this program will be considered to be on a field trip and will not be marked absent for the day.
