Student Scheduling Process for PTEC
1. Students are expected to meet with the Career and Academic Advisor during their character classes.
2. During this time, students will fill in the course plan for any classes (CTE and electives) for the next school year that is applicable.
3. Students are then responsible for sharing that information with their parents or guardians. This information will be available for any changes for two weeks before classes are locked. The Career and Academic Advisor will email parents/guardians with the time frame.
4. In August, students are only allowed to change their schedule during the first two weeks of school. At this time,students need to request any changes for both semesters. There are no schedule changes during the second semester. They can only change their elective or CTE classes. After that, schedules are locked in for the school year.
5. Requesting a schedule change does not mean it will be accepted. A few examples include the following: the request may be denied if there is no room for the request in the student's schedule or the class is needed as a graduation requirement.
6. If the student requests to go to Pikes Peak State College (PPSC), there will be separate communication from the Career and Academic Advisor.
7. The gentlemen students in the school must register at SSS.gov when they turn 18, or 3 months before they turn 18. This is for selective services. Please put James Irwin Power Technical as the school’s name. Students attending college will get a hold of their accounts until this is done.
8. CTE (Career Technical Education) used to be called shop classes.
- In 8th and 9th grade, students will choose one CTE class per semester. Students are not allowed to repeat the CTE class during their 8th and 9th grade. By the end of their 9th grade, students should have taken 4 different CTE classes.
- PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is the responsibility of the student to have every day.
- Please be sure to review the Student Career Pathways portion of our website: www.jamesirwin.org: Trades Program Tab. This will help you understand the pathways available during high school at PTEC.
