Dear Parents and Students:

Welcome to Central Nine Career Center!

We want  your educational experience here to be successful, impactful, and fun!  Our Resource Department can help make that happen by reading tests, helping with mathematics, preparing study guides, organizing research papers and class notes… anything to support your success in your program area.  To request assistance, please communicate your needs to your teacher. They will be happy to connect us!

 

We ask our students to remember the following:

Always do your best, whether you are in the shop, lab, classroom or on break.

Have a professional attitude at all times at Central Nine.  

The classes at Central Nine require as much time and effort as is needed for classes at your high school. There are quizzes and tests just like at your high school.  You will have homework and will need to set aside time to study outside of Central Nine.

Good attendance is crucial to success at Central Nine.  To be successful in either school or the workplace, you have to show up. It will be your responsibility to ask your teacher for make up work and complete the work within the time set by your instructor.  

 

Finally, please note that we will work with your Teacher of Record to share IEP’s with instructors and implement all of the accommodations applying to your program. Please remember, due to stipulations for certain programs, tests, and certifications, the accommodations you receive at Central Nine may be somewhat adjusted.

We can’t wait to get to know you and hope you find that attending Central Nine makes a great IMPACT on both your high school experience AND your future!

Sincerely,

The Resource Team
