Thank you.
Kids still want to learn even though we are in the middle of a pandemic. Schools are running a variety of schedules to meet CDC guidelines and the on-going health concerns and precautions brought on by the virus.
WRCC's approach has been as flexible as possible while ensuring opportunities for students to learn critical safety skills, gain training and get to handle tools and equipment. Some programs work well in a partially remote learning environment, but others require more physical time in school for the students to benefit the most.
Teachers are challenged by the new situations that the virus has created. Richard Thompson, Manufacturing instructor, is pictured above teaching in-person and remote students all at the same time. Nancy Wiese, Director of WRCC, has established varying attendance expectations, based on the instructional needs for each program.
WRCC is working hard to provide the best training for our student's future whether it be more of the same, fully remote or back to business as usual.
A new feature of our automated calling system is coming in the near future. This will let you receive text updates from BUHS. This is another way to get information quickly. We’ll be testing this in the coming weeks. You can participate in this free service just by sending a text message of "Y" or "Yes" to our school's short code number, 67587.
You can also opt out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with "Stop".
WRCC Director
When I took over as the director of the Windham Regional Career Center, it never occurred to me that I would be leading a school through a pandemic. COVID-19 has presented a number of challenges for all of us and I can honestly say that I have missed seeing students, parents, and staff since we moved to remote learning in mid-March.
My summer has been filled with planning for a safe return to campus for all. This work has presented some huge challenges but the idea of being open and seeing students each day makes it all worthwhile.
The Windham Regional Career Center is ready to offer students in-person project-based learning opportunities that are designed to prepare students for the world of work or post-secondary education. Students that enroll in career center courses learn to problem-solve, gain hands-on industry knowledge, and develop real-world professional skills. The career center offers a wide range of courses and gives students the opportunity to explore a number of different careers throughout their high school career.
Many of our graduates go on to higher education or accept jobs within our county and the surrounding area. Our graduates work in local healthcare facilities, childcare facilities, manufacturing industries, telecommunication, automotive dealerships and garages, in public safety, forestry and natural resources, the places you shop and the places you eat, they may have worked on your house, and they may have worked on the advertisement or show you see on television.
The goal of career and technical education is to give students the skills and knowledge to begin a career when they graduate from high school or the skills to pursue secondary education. The goal of the Windham Regional Career Center is to go one step further by supporting students in learning the skills to become successful members of our community.
Please take the time and opportunity to explore the world of career and technical education. We have tons of opportunities and students truly love the experience they have here.
Sincerely,
Nancy Wiese, Director
Windham Regional Career Center
