TO ALL FIRST PERIOD, 8TH GRADE STUDENTS FOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH, 2021

PLEASE LOOK IN YOUR MAIL FOR THIS LETTER FROM OUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR, MR. KLINE

YOU WILL NEED TO PULL THIS LETTER UP IN YOUR MAIL IN ORDER TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY, BUT HERE ARE THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER:

Dear 8th Grade Students,

        High School is just around the corner!  Your LCS Staff and Teachers want you to know that we are here to help you make a smooth transition to High School in the Fall.  There will be dates posted on Parent Nights and Counselor Visits to assist you with registration in the near future.

This information is posted on the LCS web page.

One important step that your High School Counselor would like you to do now is to choose a CTE (Career Technical Education) pathway upon your registration.  As part of your requirements for high school, you need 20 credits from a CTE Pathway or 20 credits of a World Language.  To help you with this process, we are providing you with the information on the CTE pathways offered in the Oxnard Union High School District.   

To assist you, here is a link from LCS to the survey where you can view the videos for each of the pathways and the catalogs. CTE Survey, Videos and Catalogs    After you have looked at videos and read them over, choose 5 pathways of interest in the survey.  Make a copy for yourself.  Additional School Catalogs: High School Catalogs or Home - Career Technical Education  (scroll down).

Next, on Friday, February 12th, in your period 1 class, at 8:50am -10:00am, you will attend the CTE presentation from Oxnard Unified High School District.  You will find the Zoom link in your Per. 1 teacher’s Google Classroom.  This is important to attend as we are taking attendance as well.  They will give you instructions.  You will want to choose to enter the break-out rooms from the 5 CTE pathways of interest you chose from the survey you took earlier in the week. In the break out rooms you will hear teachers and students present information on the 5 Career Paths of interest to you.  You can ask questions in the chat and learn in detail about the careers.  As a result, this will help you narrow down your choice of a CTE pathway when you register for high school this month.

Note: Please remember to update your Zoom Account by signing out and back in before the CTE Presentation on Friday, the 12th.  If  you are using another device besides your chrome book, in your Zoom Account, click the little account icon in the upper right-hand corner and select; check for updates.  Below is also the schedule for Friday.

Thank you,

Mr. Kline, Counselor
