Mentor/INDUCTION PROGRAM PLAN

1. Acceptance Letters & New Student Orientation

   • Students receive an acceptance letter and information about new student orientation. The purpose of orientation is to celebrate each student's acceptance into the program and to provide the student and their parents with information about summer bridge, TSI, and the goals of the program.

2. Summer Bridge Program

   • Students attend a two week summer bridge program where they tour the facilities, meet the P-TECH staff, and receive targeted TSI instruction. The bridge program serves to help students transition from middle school to high school, as well as provide them with specific information about P-TECH and future career opportunities related to each program.
