FRESHMEN INTRODUCTION

Veterans has five buildings on Campus (labeled alphabetically). A and D buildings are single-story while the rest are two-story. Rooms are numbered in the hundreds (meaning it’s first floor) or two-hundreds (second floor). You will find most offices, like the counselors in Principle’s, in the C building; the front desk is also here, where you can turn in absence notes and get late bus passes. The disciplinary office, however, is located in the lower B building. D building is the lunch room, and E and A building are just classrooms. Rooms tend to be labeled so that one side of the hallway has an odd number while the other side is even, so look carefully when finding classrooms!

DRESS CODE

Along with following CCSD’s dress code (which you can read here), VTCTA is notorious for our “Standard Student Attire” (SSA) and Program Uniform days. On your Program Uniform days, you must wear your program shirt (given to you at the beginning of school and paid for via your entrance fee) and any other criteria that your program requires, ranging from different style pants to belts to hair buns. As for SSA, you must wear a polo-style shirt with a collar and have every article of clothing meet the color requirements (Khaki, Navy, White, Black, Royal Blue, Carolina Blue, and Heather Grey). Also, no clothing item should have a logo (minus school-approved ones) or any accents like beads, sequins, and embroidery. Although this may seem strict, it is very easy to mix and match and easily create an outfit every day! All attire (including extra program shirts) that fits the requirements can be purchased on the school website, located here, or you can purchase SSA attire at local stores like Target and Kohl’s. Lastly, don’t forget to wear your lanyard every day (unless you want to be dress-coded).

STUDY TIPS

Yareli Ramirez-Reyes

Everyone is different. Some people don’t need to study because they’re good at memorizing, and others need to. Not all study methods work for everyone. Here are some study tips; the first is organizing your work based on its importance. Some things may require more or more time on difficult assignments or studying, but it might not always be worth it. Some of your assignments might be worth a lower grade than others, so it would be best to work on assignments worth more a grade first, then the ones that are worth less. The second tip would be managing your time. Managing your time could be helpful and practical. The third tip is flashcards. Flashcards could help with memorizing the terms of certain topics.
