Dear Parent/Guardian:

Wednesday, February 13, 2008, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. O’Brien Technical High School plans on holding TRADE/TECHNOLOGY SELECTION NIGHT for current 9th grade students and their parents.  However, we have been made aware that the weather for Wednesday daytime may be unsettled with ice and freezing rain.  Please note the following schedule for Trade/Technology Selection Night:

  • If there is a regular day of school on Wednesday, Trade/Technology Selection Night will take place as scheduled from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 13th.
  • If there is a delayed opening of school on Wednesday, Trade/Technology Selection Night will take place as scheduled from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 13th.
  • If there is no school on Wednesday or a cancellation of evening activities noted on the local television news stations due to inclement weather, Trade/Technology Selection Night will take place on Thursday, February 14, 2008 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The evening’s program will provide you with an opportunity to visit the three top trade/technology choices that your child has selected for their 6 day trade/technology experience.  You will learn about each technology area, the curriculum, specific requirements pertaining to tools and uniforms as well as job opportunities available in each technology.  You will have the opportunity to meet the trade/technology instructors and ask specific questions pertaining to their programs.

The information you receive during the Trade/Technology Selection Night is important.  It assists your child  with making their final trade/technology selection by February 14th or February 15th –should there be a  snow cancellation for the Wednesday evening event.  Your involvement in assisting your child is critical in this selection process.  Placement in each trade/technology area is highly competitive.

We encourage your active participation in this selection process and look forward to seeing you.

Sincerely,

 

Lisa Hylwa
Principal
