Dear Parents:
Thank you for the opportunity to work with your child in the LCISD Automotive Program. This course is the first course in the Automotive Program. We meet for one period hour every day, all year long. This course is a hands-on, real-world curriculum. In this course, students will learn from using Electude Maintenance and Light Repair software, lectures, Sp2.org and hands-on repairs in a controlled environment. Teamwork and solving real-world problems will be a focus throughout the year.
My Promise to You
Please know that I take it as a personal challenge to see that your child becomes the best student and person he or she can possibly become. I promise to try my best to teach, motivate, encourage and care for your child as I would my own. I am driven to see your child experience success in my classroom.
Safety
Strong emphasis is given to safety in the shop. Due to the nature of the class, some projects may require work to be done with small hand and power tools. Each student will receive instruction and must demonstrate the ability to safely operate such equipment before using certain tools on projects. All students must complete and pass a Safety Program in Sp2.org in the classroom setting prior to any work in the shop. There are 20 Modules in this Safety Course. All students must complete 5 out of the 20 modules the first week in school. 15 out of the 20 must be completed by the second week to stay in this course. All students must have an emergency form on file before they will be able to go out in the shop as well. The form is on the reverse side of this letter. Every student must also provide closed toe leather shoes. Safety glasses will be provided for them.
Materials
This class offers the student the opportunity to use Electude Maintenance and Light Repair software as well as hands-on techniques for projects and automotive repairs. All supplies and materials for projects will be provided. However, your child should have his/her own folder, pencils or pen for taking notes and a USB flash drive are helpful, but not required. All classroom PowerPoint presentations, videos, and practice tests are available for download to a USB flash drive. Please encourage your child to bring these materials daily.
I thank you again for the opportunity to work with your child. I strongly encourage and request parent involvement and contact during the year. I gladly keep parents posted on student progress and any concerns that may arise. I believe the students here in Lamar Consolidated ISD are the best and I love to brag on them. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me through the school office at (832) 223-3000 or by email at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
George Dishman
Automotive Instructor
