Superintendent’s Corner

Our fire and law programs put on a school wide event to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Special thanks to the overwhelming support of parents, dignitaries, and residents who attended our 9/11 remembrance ceremony. A

highlight was the pinning of seven Law II students that earned leadership rank. Parents of these students pinned their child as part of the ceremony. A great morning for CAVIT!

CAVIT NEWSLETTER OCTOBER, 2019

Purposeful Education, Purposeful Career

Passion...the defining feeling that comes when you find a skill that you’re good at, that you love to do, and that will impact your life in a positive way. When CAVIT students find this passion, they immediately desire an enriched educational experience that will lead to a fulfilling career, and that expectation becomes our goal throughout the school year. Please enjoy this newsletter edition.

9/11 Remembrance Cermony

A total of 130 second year students earned NTHS (National Technical Honor Society) membership for the 2019-2020 school year. NTHS membership was awarded to

advanced students earning an “A” grade each semester, as well as, attainment of leadership and citizenship skills. An evening event was held at CAC Pence Center for families to share in the celebration.

Honoring CAVIT Scholars

In an effort to address the high rate of teen accidents in the workplace, staff put on a new student professional development event known as CAUTIONCon. Students were charged with identifying potential safety hazard scenarios played out by “actors” in classrooms. This event served as a kickoff to OSHA certification training that all first year students complete. Judging by pre and post data collected, students were on track with identifying safety issues that can cause harm to all workplace employees.

First Quarter Awards Assembly

Students were recognized for academic achievement at our first quarter awards assembly. Students attaining zero unexcused absences received CAVIT’s Perfect Attendance certificate. Students that earned an “A” grade at first quarter, along with zero unexcused absences, made CAVIT Honor Roll status for this reporting period.

Student Hair Show

Cosmetology students put on a school wide “Spooktacular” hair show held at CAC Pence Center. Students were tasked with creating scary designs that were evaluated by area salon stylists. Awards were handed out by program year, as well as, the coveted crowd favorite category. This year’s hair show featured a record number 61 contestants that wowed the audience with their innovative work.

Safety is a Concern for All

Our students represent themselves professionally by wearing business attire, giving firm handshakes, holding 30-second elevator talks, and behaving like an adult during CAVIT events. Staff and our industry partners are afforded the extreme gratification of seeing our students commit to a career and work on the necessary steps to achieve success.

The learning cannot be replicated when students have the opportunity to work alongside our resident professionals. These experiences have the potential to give our students a competitive advantage over other job applicants. Our students demonstrate the technical skills that employers desperately seek.

Personalized Learning

Authentic Learning

CTE (Career and Technical Education) starts with the philosophy that all education is career education thereby providing career development to all students and in all training pathways. Through program participation in CAVIT, students display outstanding leadership skills, they learn customer service, communication, presentation, and many other employability soft skills. Our students rely on the support of our planned, broad-based, school wide events that are founded on strong career guidance principles. Whether it be clinics, internships, HOSA and SkillsUSA activities, or technical skills; our students are engaged in personalized and applied learning activity that appeals to students’ varied interests and learning styles.
