Brown Architects en 85rsba@gmail.com después del miércoles 21 de septiembre de 2022 Holiday Wishes and Information The goal of Health Services is to promote and protect the physical and emotional well-being of the students and staff at our school. We believe that encouraging healthy choices and lifestyles in adolescents enhances their academic achievement as well as helping them become healthy and successful adults. The Health Office is staffed by a full time registered nurse, licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Education. We also have a school physician, Jonathon Schwab, MD, who is available to the school nurse for consultation. The school nurse provides on-site health services to the school community such as first aid, medication administration, health counseling and education. She helps identify health problems in students and supports those with chronic illnesses so they can fully participate in school. She also oversees the state required immunization and health screening programs. In addition to providing direct services, the school nurse is a member of the Interdisciplinary Team, which addresses the needs of at-risk students, the Wellness Committee and the Health Advisory Board. She is always available to provide health resource information for students, staff and families, including access to health insurance for uninsured individuals. The Health Office is located in Building B on the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School campus and is open Monday through Friday from 7:35 am to 2:20 pm during the school year. During the summer, hours are more sporadic but you can call or email the school nurse and she will try to get back to you as soon as she can. For questions needing a prompt reply, it is best to call the main office during summer hours. The Health Office phone number is: 413-587-1416. When to Keep Your Child at Home Keeping your child at home when he or she is sick is important for their recuperation as well as preventing the spread of disease to others at school. Remember, hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of any illness! Here are some guidelines for deciding when to keep your child at home: If your child has a fever over 100 degrees, please keep them at home until they are fever free for 24 hours. Children with redness and discharge from one or both of their eyes should be kept home and evaluated by their care provider. If they are prescribed antibiotic ointment for their eyes, they should remain at home for 24 hours after the treatment has begun. If your child has symptoms such as a rash, lethargy, a severe, persistent sore throat or cough or difficulty breathing they should be kept at home and their doctor called. Keep your child at home if they have diarrhea or are vomiting. They should remain at home for at least 12 hours after the symptoms have subsided. Consult your care provider for persistent or worsening symptoms or if your child has weakness or a fever. Sending your ill child to school to be evaluated by the school nurse does not mean they will have an excused absence. Standing orders by the school physician allows for the administration of acetaminophen, ibuprofen or Tums by the school nurse to your child at school only if written permission is granted by the parent/guardian on the Emergency Health Form on file in the nurse’s office. According to regulations established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Department of Public Health, any other prescription or over the counter medication cannot be carried or taken at school without a signed Prescriber’s Medication Order Form and Parent/Guardian Medication Form on file in the Nurse’s Office. All medications must be brought to school by the parent/guardian or a responsible adult in its original pharmacy container. Emergency/Health Forms Emergency/Health Forms will be sent home with the students at the beginning of each school year. This form gives the school nurse current contact information in case of illness or an emergency, as well as an annual update of any medical issues. It also includes a section at the end, where parents can check off permission for the school nurse to administer acetaminophen, ibuprofen of Tums to their child according to signed standing orders by the school physician. Per school policy, students will not be allowed in shop after one week if the emergency form is not filled out and returned to the school nurse. Immunization and Physical Exam Requirements The Massachusetts Department of Public Health requires that all students present an up to date immunization record and physical exam (within the last 365 days) upon admission to Smith Vocational. These records must be on file in the nurse’s office by the first day of school. If your child is planning on participating in athletics, he or she must have a yearly exam on file, dated no further than 12 months from the first day of practice, in order to play. You also must fill out the MIAA form-see FORMS below. Health Screenings The school nurse conducts the following yearly state mandated screenings: Hearing and Vision-10th grade Heights and weights with BMI (Body Mass Index) calculation-10th grade Postural (scoliosis)-9th grade If any referral is needed, the school nurse will send a letter to the parent/guardian who will need to schedule an appointment with their child’s provider for evaluation. Their findings and recommendations should be sent back to the school nurse so she can provide follow-up if necessary. Student Accident Medical Insurance Protection Smith Vocational offers optional Student Accident Insurance through Lefebvre Insurance, LLC. Student Accident Insurance is designed as supplemental cover. It assists parents with out-of-pocket expenses they may have after their own insurance has considered an accident that their child sustained. Those expenses may include, but are not limited to, deductible, co-payments, co insurance and non-covered services. It is not to be considered a substitute for regular health insurance as required by Massachusetts Law. Many parents have the misconception that anything that happens to their child while at school is the school’s responsibility. With the exception of negligence, for which the school has liability insurance, there is no coverage for the child who simply has an accident at school As such, the Student Accident Insurance is an extremely affordable second layer of coverage that parents can purchase. The student Insurance also offer a 24Hour plan, which covers the students for accidents that may occur while they are out of school, and that coverage continues through the summer when school is not in session. If you are interested in this coverage, please print the brochure and mail the application and check to Lefebvre.

English https://smithtecadmin.wixsite.com/website/es/english Admissions Courses in all grades are aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for English Language Arts and Literacy. Students develop reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language skills that help prepare them for both career and further education. The consistent use of informational texts and vocabulary strategies in all grades helps to build reading and thinking skills in vocational and other academic subject areas as well as for state assessments. Literacy tasks emphasize the academic and critical skills needed to be successful in the real world and are differentiated in order to address students’ varying ability levels and learning styles. English (9th grade) Grade 9 courses improve literacy skills through analysis of informational texts, fiction, literary-nonfiction, drama, and poetry. This involves explicit writing and reading activities that hone skills for the MCAS (reading comprehension strategies, test-taking strategies, and essay writing while synthesizing multiple texts) and also develops critical thinking and communication skills that inform their upcoming vocational and career goals. Critical evaluation of sources and research skills are also covered. Advanced English (9th grade) This course is open to those students considering college. It focuses on reading, writing, and language skills that are relevant to high school course work and essential for students' future college coursework. Students will practice noticing small details in a text to achieve a deeper understanding while reading, as well as perform writing tasks at a higher level of critical thinking and depth. These foundational skills will help students craft sophisticated, longer-form analysis of texts. Writing (9th grade) This course engages students in critical thinking and multiple forms of writing including informative, argumentative, and narrative/descriptive. Students will learn to identify the central idea of a text, create summaries, develop ideas, delineate and evaluate arguments, write a conditional thesis, study extended definitions of words/ideas, support analysis with textual evidence, conduct research to respond to a question or prompt, gather and assess information from multiple sources, synthesize information, and much more. English (10th grade) 10th grade English is a course that is centered around studying a variety of genres of literature. Throughout the year students will continue to build upon the skills that they gained during their previous year. Students will improve their skills in writing analytically about literature and continue to develop their language sense in the areas of grammar and vocabulary. Students will focus on developing active reading and critical thinking skills while reading informational texts, fiction, drama, and poetry. Writing assignments engage students in synthesizing multiple texts, writing argument, descriptive, and narrative essays, and writing on demand in preparation for the state MCAS test. Students also complete a research and writing project that helps them to build critical information gathering skills while increasing self-awareness. Analysis of literature includes understanding and analyzing theme, tone, main idea, character development, and figurative language. Advanced English (10th grade) This course builds upon the foundational skills of Advanced English 9. As readers, students will study how poets, playwrights, novelists and non-fiction writers craft their writing to convey specific messages and themes. Students will also write more sophisticated responses and essays about the texts they study. This is course is open to all students, but is designed for those interested in taking Advanced Placement English classes in Junior and Senior year and those considering college after graduation. Writing (10th grade) Writing courses are intended to engage students in critical thinking while developing writing skills that will translate to MCAS writing tasks, accurate research writing, public speaking skills, and improved literacy in all subject areas. Students in this course will engage with various forms of writing including research, argumentative, and narrative/descriptive. Students will learn to analyze primary sources, assess sources for reliability and bias, synthesize information from multiple sources, incorporate visual media in their writing, study author’s purpose, address and refute a counterclaim, trace theme development, analyze complex characters and settings, articulate the impact of word choice and figurative language on meaning and tone, and much more! English (11th grade) The 11th grade curriculum is structured around the study of argument, persuasion, and rhetoric. Through their study of Rhetoric, students learn how to speak and write using persuasive techniques. Students read and analyze fiction, non-fiction, and drama. A focus on informational texts culminates in an editorial project that allows students to research a debatable topic and then write to persuade readers to consider their viewpoint. Additionally, students taking this course will write resumes and cover letters in preparation for mock interviews and co-op job applications later in the year. AP English Language and Composition (11th grade) The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. The course prepares students for the College Board’s Advanced Placement Exam in English Language and Composition, which is administered in May. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms of text—from a range of disciplines and historical periods. The course guides students in becoming curious, critical, and responsive readers of diverse texts. Students taking this course should come willing to do their best work as they cultivate reading and writing skills needed for college success and for intellectually responsible civic engagement. Earning at least an 80 in Advanced English (10th grade) is a prerequisite required to enroll in this class. A teacher recommendation for this course is required. Students are expected to take the AP exam. Grades in this course are weighted approximately seven points for student GPA calculation. A required summer reading assignment is required for this course.

Students continue to develop their research skills, including constructing an original research question, distinguishing between credible sources, taking notes on and interviewing primary sources, and using MLA format. Additionally, students refine their literary analysis skills as they read and analyze a variety of literary texts, including short fiction, poetry, novel, and drama. Throughout the course, students study how writers use language to develop characters and themes as well as to study how universal truths about the human experience found in literature can transcend time and bring people together. This course is designed to offer students the opportunity, through challenging writing assignments and reading, to examine texts through close reading and to reflect on their own experiences, while further developing and connecting their understandings to their college or career paths and beyond. AP English Literature and Composition (12th grade) AP Lit. is a demanding, college-level course certified by the College Board and intended for seniors who wish to refine their writing and reading skills, improve their vocabularies, and increase their facility with the written and spoken word. The course prepares students for the College Board’s Advanced Placement Exam in English Literature and Composition, which is administered in May. Students read, reread, and write analytically about challenging texts, engage in frequent, in-depth class discussions of those texts, and write numerous short and long critical essays. Although the course is designed to prepare students for the AP English Literature and Composition exam, the sustained focus of the course is one of the rewards and pleasures of examining literature with a critical eye and acquiring the skills to write and discuss them substantively. Students who enroll should have strong reading and writing skills, a level of comfort with the abstract, and a love for reading and rereading difficult texts. A teacher recommendation for this course is required. Earning at least an 80 in AP English Language and Composition (11th grade) is a prerequisite required to enroll in this class. Students are expected to take the AP exam. Grades in this course are weighted approximately seven points for student GPA calculation.

Cooperative Employment Coop co-op https://www.smithtec.org/co-op Co-Op Cooperative Employment Time Sheet District's Cooperative Employment Policy Jeff Lareau, Co-op Coordinator x3450 Leslie Skantz-Hodgson The Cooperative Work Employment program at Smith Vocational functions within the scheduled program of instruction at the school. Students who qualify can participate in the cooperative work program during their shop week, alternating a week of employment with a week in academic classes. Co-op students earn wages while gaining valuable work experience. Offered to juniors and seniors, the cooperative work experience can serve as a reward to students who excel in both shop and academics and demonstrate a positive attitude in attendance and behavior. Cooperative work experience can also serve as an incentive tool to initiate within the students a desire to achieve a good scholastic average, show the value of good attendance, and demonstrate the benefits of good citizenship in both school and industry. Employment experience is matched as closely as possible to the needs of each student. 1-413-587-1414 x3476 The Cooperative Work program serves a variety of purposes: 1. Augmenting the school curriculum in increasing the skill level of the student. 2. Providing additional social advancement in a work-place atmosphere. 3. Providing a wider variety of trade experiences than are available in the student's chosen shop. 4. Providing a different instructional atmosphere than is available in the traditional school shop program. The Guidance Counselor and the Co-op Coordinator work with our cooperative employers to evaluate students. The evaluation uses Work-based Learning Plans to ensure that we are preparing students for the full range of skills needed in 21st century workplaces. "One of my favorite things about Smith School is the Co-op program because I can make money and get experience while earning credits toward graduation."
