Grade 9 students and families will begin CTE Selection activities January 3, 2019, in preparation for CTE Placement on January 16, 2019!   Please use time prior to returning from the break to begin to prepare for this exciting process! Talk with your child about how they anticipate rank ordering their preferences during CTE Selection when they return from break. Parents/ Guardians are also reminded to access your child’s Aspen account to review the grades they earned during each exploratory cycle, your child’s weekly exploratory reflections (stored in your student’s individual school google drive) and your child’s Naviance Student account to review their career and personal exploration inventories and journal entries.  We also recommend visiting www.EssexNorthShore.org/CTE for more information about our CTE programs and strongly encourage Grade 9 students and parents/guardians to attend our CTE Family Fair on Thursday, January 3, 2019,  at 6 pm if possible.
