Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s)
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Career and Technology
Education Department. Students involved in Career and Technology Education Welding learn through hands-on experiences in the construction of individual and group
projects and activities.
SAFETY is always of primary importance to me. Instruction in the safe and correct
operation of tools and equipment is given, and close supervision is maintained at all
times. Although every precaution is taken to prevent an accident, a certain risk is
involved due to the nature of the experience and the learning environment. The school
carries NO medical insurance on the students.
There is an $75.00 lab fee required of each student taking Career and Technology
Education - Welding. The lab fee is used for Welder Certification Fees, purchase
materials and supplies used in constructing various required activities, labs and task. A
student wishing to build a project may purchase the required materials at an additional
cost.
Thank you for your help and assistance in providing your child with a “real world”
experience offered through Career and Technology Education. Please review with your
child the attached forms. These forms need to be signed and returned along with the $75
lab fee as soon as possible. Cypress Park will not accept personal checks for
payments. Acceptable forms of payment will be: Cash, Money Order or Cashier’s
Check (payable to Cypress Park High School).
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (346) 227-6110 or
by e-mail [email protected].
Sincerely,
MARK PEAK

Philosophy
The Cy-Fair Independent School District is dedicated to providing a SAFE environment in
which each student can develop and become a mature, productive, and responsible citizen. In
the Industrial Technology Education laboratories, the SAFETY and Education of the
students are our primary concern.
It is the objective of CY-FAIR Independent School District and the Industrial Technology
Education instructor to provide a SAFE environment for students to develop and apply skills
in a business and/or industrial setting.
To establish a SAFE environment, certain behaviors cannot be allowed in an Industrial
Technology laboratory. Some behaviors can be hazardous to the individual student and/or
other students in the laboratory. A student displaying such behavior may be dismissed from
certain course activities. A decision of dismissal from the course or the course activities will
be made by a committee comprised of the instructor, counselor, and principal.
Grounds for Dismissal
1. Willful injury of another student and/or the instructor.
2. Accidental injury to the student, another student, and/or the instructor as a result of
misconduct.
3. Intentional theft, damage or destruction of tools, equipment, and supplies. The
student is liable for the replacement cost of the damage.
4. Accidental damage or destruction of tools, equipment, and supplies as a result of
misconduct. The student is liable for the replacement cost of the damage.
5. A student who repeatedly fails to comply with instructor’s directives and established
Industrial Technology Education policies and procedures.
It is our desire to provide a SAFE educations atmosphere for the students to develop
problem-solving and creative abilities involving the materials, tools, processes, and products
of industry.
The instructor reserves his or her legal right to NOT all any student to work within the lab or
operate machines and/or hand tools within the lab who he or she considers to be unsafe;
Either because of the student’s action or behaviors toward himself or herself, the
instructor(s), and/or towards students within the lab or classroom.
