The Student/Parent Handbook contains official policy of the Board of Education of the New Castle County Vocational Technical School District. In special situations where the Board approves policy modifications relevant to an individual school project, parents will be notified accordingly by the school administration. The Board of Education approved this Handbook in May 2020.

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians:

Welcome to the New Castle County Vocational Technical School District and the 2020-21 school year. Thank you for being a part of our incredible school district, and we look forward to an exciting school year filled with learning and accomplishment. Our mission is to provide superior Career and Technical Education, enabling all students to achieve their aspirations. All of us in the entire school district embrace this mission and carry it out in our daily work.

The Student/Parent Handbook is updated each year and is provided to students to ensure their understanding of their rights and responsibilities and the rules that guide our schools to enhance each student’s opportunity for success. These rules provide clear responsibilities and expectations for our students in the school district and their conduct. Be sure to read the contents of the handbook, which includes several important topics, such as attendance, discipline, due process, rules, transportation, and athletic eligibility guidelines.

If you have any questions about the handbook, or if you ever have a school concern, contact your student advisor, school counselor, or administrator. There is a telephone directory in the handbook with the phone numbers of school staff, as well as the school calendar and school closing information.

We value your choice to attend one of our progressive CTE schools, and on behalf of the School Board, administrators, teachers, and support staff, I wish you a productive and successful school year. High school is filled with incredible opportunities to grow and learn, so I encourage you to take full advantage of our many programs and services, work hard, make lasting friendships, enjoy your experience, and follow and utilize the code of conduct.

Sincerely,

Joseph M. Jones, Ed.D.
