LIVONIA CAREER TECHNICAL CENTER

LCTC Community,

I hope this message finds you well and refreshed after spring break. As we embark on the fourth marking period there is so much to look forward to, especially for our seniors. Our teachers have planned some amazing work-based learning field trips and fun hands-on activities this spring. Students are busy preparing for their industry-specific credential exams, so they will be workforce-ready upon graduation.

The fourth marking period is a fresh start. I want to emphasize the importance of making attendance a priority in the coming weeks. Make sure you are checking Parent/Student Connect often and staying on top of your classwork. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to your students' teachers, or myself with any questions or concerns.

A reminder that marking period three grades will be visible in Parent Connect on Tuesday, April 9th.

Also, there is no school on Monday, April 8th due to staff professional development.

Please check below for the MME testing schedule for April 10th and 11th.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Gray

Congratulations to all our students who qualified for a National Cyber Scholarship! We’re so proud of their achievements. We would love to celebrate the achievements of the following students: Joe and Mykola.

These students have been named Scholars by the National Cyber Scholarship Foundation. In recognition of their achievement, they have been invited to participate in the Cyber Foundations Academy – a multi-week online program based on the nationally recognized SANS Foundations training course and certification – valued at more than $3,000.

The National Cyber Scholarship Foundation (NCSF) is a national non-profit whose mission is to identify, nurture, and empower the next generation of cybersecurity experts and eliminate the cybersecurity skills gap in the United States. Thousands of high school students nationwide participated in scoring points while solving a wide range of cybersecurity challenges through an exciting online cybersecurity training program sponsored by the NCSF. Top scorers in the program earned an invitation to participate in the Cyber Foundations Academy, valued at more than $3,000. Over 40,000 students nationwide sought to qualify for a National Cyber Scholarship (NCS).

Students in the career and skilled trades internship programs recently took a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts to enjoy the beautiful artwork and learn about the different cultures in the world. Students had to work on a scavenger hunt to see the various collections at the museums. They had fun posing like some of the artwork and had a chance to enjoy a warm drink in the Kresge Court too! Great time!

Ms.Sparks' and Ms.G's Pre-Sports Medicine and Advanced Sports Medicine classes took a field trip to the University of Toledo's Health Science facility. While there they were able to tour their state-of-the-art medical simulation lab, practice intubation techniques on mannequins, and learn through hands-on anatomy lessons on the cadavers in the anatomy lab. It was a great day!
