TEC is open to all students. All 9th graders are invited to visit TEC early in the school year and may come to TEC during their study halls. Sophomores, juniors and seniors may come to TEC when they have “free” blocks.
Students can access TEC on an as-needed basis. In addition, students needing ongoing support may be referred to TEC by classroom teachers and guidance counselors. TEC is open during regular school hours and after school most days until 3:30 and is equipped with computers with school program software, textbooks, and a host of student supplies and materials.
Each year TEC typically sees 10,000 student visits. Over 90% of the student visits to TEC are student-initiated. The remaining visits are by students who have scheduled blocks at TEC as a result of the referral process.
Please encourage your son or daughter to take advantage of this exciting new learning opportunity.
