Dear Lynn Tech Families,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!
Per our Jupiter message communication, you have been informed the Lynn Public Schools will begin the 20-21 school year remotely. Remote learning is students engaged in their classes and completing assignments from a remote location, not from inside school. Although we will be learning remotely, the attendance policy has not changed, it remains the same as in previous years.
This school year will look very different as we move into teaching and learning. We have adopted a learning management system for Lynn Public Schools called "Schoology". A learning management system is an online application that allows for the administration of educational courses allowing for learning anytime from anywhere. Your child will be taught using the learning management system, "Schoology", Monday-Friday, throughout the school day and beyond. "Schoology" can be accessed through a desktop, laptop, or through the web browser on an iPad or tablet.
Students will access "Schoology" by logging onto:
https://lynnschools.schoology.com
Username: student’s email address:
stu------@lynnschools.org (6 digit ID# follows stu)
The same username and password that they use to log into their computers.
Their courses will be loaded on this page and they will have access to school updates.
Students in grades 3-12 should have already received their district issued loaner laptops at this time. If you have not had this opportunity, please contact our main office at 781.477.4720 for information regarding dates, times, and locations for pickup (August 26th 8:30-2pm at LVTI Annex building, August 27th 8:30-2pm Marshall Middle School of Classical High School).
In order to prepare your child for remote learning, we have designated 4 days of online orientation with your child’s teacher as well as 1 day for material/supply pickup at the school.
| Starting September 23rd, the school day for Grades 8-12 at LVTI is Monday-Friday from 7:45 AM - 12 PM or 7:45 AM - 1 PM depending on your student’s schedule. During that time, students will participate in teaching and learning based on the following times: |

LVTI Cooperative Education Program
The Cooperative Education Program is an extension of a student’s vocational education that combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training.
It provides a student the opportunity to develop academic, technical, and job skills not attainable in a school-based setting but acquirable in an industrial or business work-based environment. The program is open to all students who are at least half-way through their junior year and have been enrolled for at least one and one-half years in an approved vocational program.
Students must satisfy state and school grades, attendance, and performance requirements. All co-op students have completed the OSHA recognized CareerSafe online health and safety course, or the OSHA 10-hour General Industry or Construction Industry training program, demonstrating that they have the fundamental safety knowledge needed in today’s workplace.
Through a cooperative arrangement made between an employer and a school, the student on one week receives instruction in the required academic and career related classes. On the alternate week, the student expands their classroom learning experiences and connects the academic knowledge with the business world through paid employment in a supervised educational work setting related to the student’s occupational career area.
Integrating academic and career related classes with practical work experience helps students strengthen work skills learned in the classroom, develop inter-personal skills related to employment, and improve their chances for a better job.
In-Person Learning Update - February 1, 2021
Dear Lynn Tech Families,
During the Lynn Public Schools school committee meeting, a decision was made by way of unanimous vote to invite our Grade 12 senior students back home into Lynn Tech for in-person learning. The proposal put forth to the School Committee was to offer our seniors an opportunity to refresh their skills in the safe and appropriate use of shop machinery along with practical skills for their trade. Our hope is the time we will have with seniors up until graduation will give them the boost they need to be productive contributing citizens in our community practicing their craft for their future success!
This decision means the following:
- Grade 12 seniors will have the option to return to school in-person on Monday, February 8, 2021
- Seniors will report from 8 AM – 12 PM to their respective vocational programs
- During in-person learning students will engage in hands-on learning in their designated shops
- Each senior shop class will be divided into two sections, a Cohort A and a Cohort B to reduce the number of students in each program lending a 9:1 ratio students to teachers
- Students will have the option to remain fully remote and continue to learn via web cam
- Students will use designated doors to enter and exit to ensure safe distancing along with the use of shop restrooms
- Students will engage in COVID guidelines of safety precautions and actions daily
- Students will not be able to report if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID for their safety and the safety of others
We will be taking time next week to provide students will all the important information they will need for their return on Monday, February 8, 2021 for those who choose to report in person. Additionally we will be providing families with necessary paperwork for students to return along with protocols that must be followed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Please note this will be a process that will continue to grow and evolve as our senior students return. Our priority is safety and learning.
Go Tigers,
Mrs. Carissa Karakaedos
Principal-Director, LVTI

Welcome Grade 8 Discovery Families!
We are learning that despite our many messages, some families are still experiencing roadblocks with accessing the information. We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this has caused.

Also, please click on "Schoology" resources for the most update to date tutorials as you navigate our new student learning management system. Tomorrow, Sept 16th from 8 AM until 8;45 AM. We will be assisting those students in our main back lot with technology navigation issues.
Students must come with their school issued laptop fully charged and their log in information. Again this is only for students we are struggling with using technology as we prepare to open school this week.

Welcome to Lynn Vocational Technical Institute
Lynn Tech offers sixteen technical areas that all students explore during part of their freshmen year before choosing a career path of study for the next three years. We offer three licensed trades where students log hours toward licensure while learning in shop.

These students have the opportunity to transition into the workplace, offering them advanced on-the-job training that often leads to full time employment upon graduation.

About School Councils
A school council is a representative, school building-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members and, at the secondary level, students, required to be established by each school pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 59C.
It is important to note the School Council plays an advisory role in assisting the building principal to organize and implement a School Improvement Plan which not only addresses the areas in which the school intends to comply with the requirements of the Educational Reform Act, but also how the school intends to meet those system-wide goals and policies adopted by the school committee. Membership will consist of the principal, teachers, parents, students and community members. |
