Career and Technology Courses (CTS) allow students to complete all assigned work to meet expected learner outcomes. Marks of “INCOMPLETE” or “NOT HANDED IN” will be placed into Power Teacher until the student completes the learning task. For students who do not hand in the assigned work prior to the last day of regular scheduled classes for the Term or Semester, a zero will be put in to complete the calculation of their final marks. 

•  In the CTS Curriculum Competency Skills must be demonstrated and meet expected learner outcomes as we prepare our students for the world of work. 

•  In addition, Lacombe Composite High School CTS dept. has incorporated strategies of intervention for the success of all students. 

Meetings with teachers to find solutions, working with parents, use of flex time, opportunity to improve grades (additional work/project), working through exam week, work with admin for solutions, online resources, homework, reminders on FYI board for due dates.
