Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year
We are excited to have everyone back to TEC-SMART this fall. The first day of school for both high school and college courses is Tuesday, September 6th. Students need to be in class ready to begin by 7:50 AM. Students are released at 10:45 AM from high school classes and 10:50 AM from college classes.
Students will notice that there is construction next to the building where HVCC is expanding. It is very important that students drive slowly through the parking lot as there are many workers going in and out. Here is some information to get you started with the school year, and as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Schedule
Students will be in high school classes at least 3 days a week and college classes on the other days. If college class is released early, students report back to the high school classroom. Students should check WIReD for their HVCC Schedule.
Families received a school calendar for the program via email.
Supplies
Students should bring the following each day:
-
Their chromebooks, fully charged, to school each day
-
HVCC username and password
-
Pen
-
Pencil
-
Highlighter
-
Folder
-
Notebook (for college classes)
-
Agenda- to write assignments in. This could be their home school agenda or we will be able to provide HVCC ones within the first few weeks
If students are unable to get these supplies, please contact Mrs. Snow for assistance, asnow@bscsd.org.
Students will receive their college textbooks or access codes for the online textbooks the first week of classes.
Forms
-
Students will need to turn in their program forms if they haven’t already.
-
Driving Form- Driving forms were emailed home for students to drive to TEC-SMART. Students are NOT allowed to transport others from TEC-SMART to their home high school unless the high school principal indicates otherwise on the driving form. The form is due by Monday, September 12th. Ballston Spa students have a different form to include specific rules from Ballston Spa High School. Please make sure to complete the driving form that pertains to you.
-
Immunization records: As with the home school, students also need to submit their immunization records if taking more than 3 college credits. Here is the link to HVCC’s webpage on how to submit them: https://www.hvcc.edu/studentservices/health-services/forms/index.html (Links to an external site.) Students in the P-TECH program do NOT have to provide proof of COVID vaccination this year. Please disregard that on HVCC’s webpage.
We are excited about seeing everyone back at TEC-SMART on Tuesday, September 6th. We have notified schools of our start date, so please reach out to your school counselor or office regarding transportation as this is the first year that your child will be attending the program daily. Ballston Spa students will go to the bus loop in front of the high school to get on the transfer bus to TEC-SMART. The bus leaves at 7:30 on the dot so if you aren’t on it, you will miss the bus.
Contact ECHS Program Coordinator, Adrienne Snow, asnow@bscsd.org with any questions.
