Career and Technology Education – Richland High School
Permission Slip
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The main teaching approach employed in Career and Technology Education courses is “authentic” learning. The students will have the opportunity to work with materials and power tools to meet the course requirements. Before any student is allowed to use any tools, a review lesson describing the proper and safe use of that tool is presented. Included in the lesson is a demonstration of the proper operating procedure by the instructor. In addition, each class spends time discussing safe working practices and proper conduct to be followed in a work setting.
I ask that you sign this sheet and then have your student return the sheet to me as soon as possible. A copy of this will be available on my teacher website. Please make sure that both sides are signed.
If you have any questions concerning the Technology Education program, please call 817-547-7308 for my voice mail or e-mail me at . I will be more than happy to discuss our program and use of tools with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Best regards,
Dana Harris
