NEWS FROM ROP

Imagine a world without nurses, computer technicians, construction managers, dentists, preschool teachers, police officers, chefs, fire fighters, or entrepreneurs.  While in high school, students have the opportunity to take CTE courses taught by industry professionals that could be the inspiration for their future careers. Coastline ROP offers CTE courses at 26 high schools within five local school districts. Our courses are designed for ALL students due to a combination of academic knowledge and technical education, which provides students with a pathway to post-secondary education and/or a successful career. 

 

Classes on our campus include: Art of Animation, Culinary Arts, E-Marketing, Entertainment Art, Film and Digital Media Studies, and Visual Imagery. Many other classes are offered in the afternoon and evening throughout our five partnering school districts. Contact your Career Specialist, Kathleen Shannon, in the Career Center for more information.

Everyone should enroll in an ROP class, because

Career and Technical Education Works!

Coastline ROP offers CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION 

Facts About Career & Technical Education

  • Students taking CTE Courses are less likely to drop out of high school and pursue post-secondary education.
  • (Plank et al, "Dropping Out of High School and the Place of Career and Technical Education," 2005.)
  • Students at schools with highly integrated rigorous academic and CTE programs have significantly higher achievement in reading, mathematics and science than do students at schools with less integrated programs. (Southern Regional Education Board, "Linking Career/Technical Studies to Broader High School Reform," 2004.)
  • CTE students are significantly more likely than their non-CTE counterparts to report that they developed problem-solving, project completion, research, math, college application, work-related, communication, time management, and critical thinking skills during high school.
  • (Lekes et al, "Career and Technical Education Pathway Programs, Academic Performance, and the Transition to College and Career," 2007.)
  • Career and technical education (CTE) prepares students for a wide range of careers and further educational opportunities. These careers may require varying levels of education - including industry-recognized credentials, post secondary certificates, and two-and four-year degrees
  • CTE is at the forefront of preparing students to be "college-and career-ready."
  • CTE equips students with:
    • Core Academic Skills and the ability to apply those skills to concrete situations in order to function in the workplace and in routine daily activities
    • Employ-ability Skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area
    • Job-specific, Technical Skills related to a specific career pathway

Absence Phone Line:
When your student is absent, please report it.
Call (949) 515-6305

 

Just a reminder that no student will be released from school over the telephone and no early dismissals will be issued over the telephone. The parent/guardian should send their student to school with a note to obtain an Off Campus Permit. The student needs to give their note to Attendance before school or at break.

 

In the event of an emergency, a parent/guardian must come into the Attendance Office and sign the student out of school. The Attendance Office will not telephone classrooms to have students excused from school out of respect for instructional time. 

If a student becomes ill while at school, the student should not call their parent. They should instead go to the nurse's office. The nurse will call home for the student.

Thank you to all Newport Harbor parents and students for your understanding and your cooperation.
