Ninth Grade Parent Night Agenda
Below is the Ninth Grade Parent Night format. Only school administrators, ninth-grade academic teachers, and the ninth-grade counselor will be available for parents to speak with during the eveining. We will hold a ninth-grade technical night later on in the year when students are placed in their respective shops.
When parents arrive, we will offer copies of student schedules, the evening's bell schedule and maps of the school on tables outside of the Student Services Office. After a presentation from Mr. Terranova and Ms. Mador, parents and guardians will be following their child's schedule, moving to classrooms approximately every 10 minutes. Bells will sound.
Tour Guides (Ambassadors) will be on duty to assist and direct parents to classrooms.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
We would first like to say congratulations to your student on gaining acceptance to The Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. Our school offers many opportunities for your child. With 15 technical programs available, students enjoy the possibility of many rewarding career paths. However, we are only able to accept a limited number of students into each program. To place students in their desired programs Cape Cod Tech utilizes a selective process approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education for determining placement.
At the end of the exploratory process, your student selects the most desired programs they would like to study for the next 3 ⅓ years. Students have the opportunity to select and rank multiple programs at the end of the exploratory process. Most students gain access to their 1st or 2nd choice shops. However, due to the highly competitive nature, some programs fill very quickly, and your student may or may not gain access to their desired program(s). It is not atypical to have highly successful students with A averages in all areas of their studies denied entrance into their top-four shops. We share this information so you can support your child to do their best and encourage them to keep their options open throughout their exploratory process.
We want all parents, guardians, and students to understand that all students have a fair and equitable opportunity to enter into their technical area. Technical area class sizes are pre-determined based on safety and instructional benefits for all students. Unfortunately, this is not a fluid situation, and there is a chance your child will not gain acceptance into their desired shop(s). Cape Cod Tech will still offer your child the opportunity to discover and study a new field that may excite their interest and create a new passion for a different career path. All of our programs work with cutting-edge technology in their industry, so students will be prepared when they graduate. We know your student’s placement will offer them the best opportunity for their future.
Again, congratulations to your student on gaining acceptance to The Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. We know the next four years will be exciting and rewarding. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 508-432-4500 ext 2000
