Lancaster County Career & Technology Center

Half Day Students

Students may enter the building from the front or cafeteria entrances and move to the cafeteria for breakfast. At the end of 3rd period, students are expected to go directly to the half day bus parked at the front of the building. Students are not permitted to stop in the cafeteria to purchase food prior to the bus ride and should not be eating or drinking on the bus.

Full Day Students

Students may enter the building from the front or cafeteria entrances and move to the cafeteria for breakfast. Full day students are expected to remain in that area, using the cafeteria restrooms if needed, until departure. Students are expected to be on their assigned CTC bus prior to 7:30, as that is the time of departure.

Upon disembarking the CTC bus, students will utilize the sidewalks to enter the high school cafeteria entrance. Traveling throughout the bus lot without the use of the sidewalks is a safety hazard for both the students and drivers. If a student drives to school, they are permitted to leave from the CTC bus dismissal if their car is parked in one of the back school lots - Arena or Middle School lot.

All students are to remain in the assigned area with monitored bathroom access, using the cafeteria restrooms. If a student needs to travel the building, they must share the communication with the teacher/trainer/counselor the communication to the CTC monitor to be permitted to move out of the assigned area. Traveling throughout the building without pre-arranged permission is not permitted.

If a student rides with a driver parked in the front of the building, they must remain in the cafeteria until 2:30 dismissal.

Students and parents will receive regular communication from Manheim Township High School regarding changes in schedules, bussing updates, and any other relevant information. It is important that the email provided to the district at the beginning of the year is one that is checked regularly to ensure receipt of the information in a timely manner.

Students should still monitor their Schoology accounts as well to ensure they are aware of any school specific updates regarding events and activities that may be of interest.

Half day students should report directly to the assigned classroom prior to the bell on both Club and Advisory days. At that time attendance will be recorded, and students will be expected to complete advisory artifacts assigned at that time. Bringing food from the cafeteria is not an option at this time.

Half day students should report directly to the assigned location prior to the bell when attendance will be taken. At that time students will be able to complete independent work or quietly socialize until the bus arrives. Students are not permitted to leave the building and still use district transportation to the CTC, nor are they permitted to leave prior to 10:30 without a parent note.

Student drivers who attend either full or half day CTC will be assigned parking in either the Arena or Middle School lots.

There are days in which Manheim Township School District is not in session and CTC is still holding classes. These days are not optional for students. Please be aware of communication coming from Manheim Township High School with transportation information as that will change on these days with a different time and location of your pick up.

If you would like to have breakfast provided on those days, the communication from Manheim Township High School will request that information so that a breakfast can be provided to you. If you request breakfast, please come into the high school cafeteria to pick up your breakfast at that time.

The building will be open for students to wait in the cafeteria for the CTC bus arrival. This is not mandatory, but available.

As expected on all Manheim Township School District buses, appropriate behavior is expected at all times. Food and drink is not permitted, students are expected to maintain their area, being responsible for any trash created.

Students are expected to stay seated in their seats, use appropriate volume of voice and language. As always, it is also expected that other students and the bus driver are treated with respect.

2 HOUR DELAY

If MTHS is operating on a 2 HR Delay schedule - FULL DAY & HALF DAY CTC students will be transported to CTC at 9:30 AM - leaving from the Cafeteria.

FID DAY

If MTHS is operating on a "FID" day schedule - FULL DAY & HALF DAY CTC will NOT be transported to CTC. This will not go against their attendance if CTC is in session.

MTHS CLOSED

FULL DAY & HALF DAY CTC students will NOT be transported to CTC. This will not go against their attendance if CTC is in session.

Suspensions administered by the CTC are also honored by Manheim Township School District. This means that if a half day CTC student is given a suspension, they are also not permitted to participate in classes at MTHS for those same days. Conversely, if a student has been given a suspension through MTHS, they will also be expected to not attend the CTC for the same days.

If full or half day students violate School Board Policy #227 (Controlled Substances), or School Board Policy #218.4 (Extracurricular, Co-curricular, and Interscholastics Sports and Privileges) students and parents should anticipate that Manheim Township school personnel will be involved in the disciplinary action.

Full and half day students are permitted and encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities through MTHS. Please watch the website, Schoology, daily bulletins, and The Week Ahead emails for additional information.
