Details for TOMORROW (9/5)

Details for TOMORROW (9/5)

The first day of high classes is tomorrow.   Here is the schedule for classes, but not all students in a pathway are taking the same coursework due to required prerequisites, so it is very important that students check their WIReD accounts for room numbers.  Junior_Senior Fall Schedule 2024-2025.docx.pdf 

For tomorrow:

  • Students will arrive by 7:45 AM

  • Students who are driving need to park in the far lot labeled Student Parking.  Students can drive peers to school, but CANNOT drive their peers back to their home school at the end of classes.

  • Students will sign in on the clipboard when they enter TECSMART, even if they have a college class.  This is how we take attendance for the regular school day.

  • Students ONLY need their chromebook (preferably charged), snack, lunch if missing lunch at their home school, something to write with and something to write on tomorrow.

  • Students will receive their textbooks for their HVCC college classes.  I will deliver them after they are settled in their classrooms.  Most textbooks are online codes and not physical books.

Here is some additional information that is a repeat of what I sent out previously.

  • Program Hours:  Students should arrive at TEC-SMART by 7:40 AM.  Dismissal is at 10:50 AM.

  • Transportation:  All schools transport, but you will want to reach out to your individual school to find out what time the bus is picking your child up and from where.

  • Driving:  Students, with a valid driver’s license, can drive to TEC-SMART and park in the student lot.  They will obtain a permission form from me the first week of school and it will be due the following week.  They can drive the first week without a permit. Students will park in the labeled student lot across from the building along the woods.   Students CANNOT transport other students from TECSMART back to their home school at dismissal, but they can drive others in at the start of the day.

  • The first day of high school classes is Thursday, September 5th.  All students need to be on site on Thursday, September 5th.  

  • Schedule:  Students are assigned to both HVCC and high school by college pathway.  When students are not in attendance in college classes, they are attending their high school classes, all taught in a transdisciplinary cotaught format.  Classes will ALWAYS be held during our program hours. If a college class is dismissed early or canceled, students need to report to the high school classroom.

  • School Supplies:  Students will need their home school or program chromebook/laptop each day.  We function in an online classroom.  It is our recommendation that students bring the following with them each day.  If a student is unable to get these supplies, we can provide them.  Pen, pencil, highlighter, folder, notebook.  These supplies will typically be for their HVCC classes.  

  • Lunch:  Students will have many breaks throughout the morning to eat.  Students should also have time to eat lunch prior to getting on their bus to their home school if they will miss lunch at their home school.  If your child is NOT finding time to eat lunch, please contact me immediately.  It’s very important to us that they have time to eat.  

  • Meet the Teacher Night:  We will have a Meet the Teacher Night/ Open House on September 12th from 6-7 PM at TECSMART.  We will begin in the auditorium for program wide information and will then have you meet with the teachers to review the upcoming school year.

  • There are no high school classes on November 1st due to a Superintendent's Conference Day.  Students who have college classes will still report.

  • Please find our school calendar for P-TECH attached to this email.  Calendar for Students 24.25.pdf I will send weekly emails during the school year that will also reflect any changes to this calendar.  This calendar is for both our juniors and seniors, so you may see additional information on here that won’t pertain to your child this year.  

  • Attendance:  College professors are very strict regarding attendance.  Please schedule medical appointments and college visits around HVCC classes.  If a student is going to miss HVCC classes, they should email their HVCC professor using their HVCC email account prior to the missed class.  Students should always submit their work ahead of time if they have a planned absence.  For high school, attendance notes can be submitted via email to asnow@bscsd.org.  

  • Cell Phones:  Students should have their cell phones away during program hours.  Cell phones are permitted when logging into HVCC sites since they need to use the duo security authentication.  Please let me know if your child needs their phone due to medical reasons (ex.  Some use their phone to track levels related to diabetes)
