CANON CITY HIGH SCHOOL AUTO SHOP
What is Vocational Auto?
It is an in depth study of all aspects and units of the
automobile. You will spend about 25% of
your time in the classroom and about 75% on the shop
floor. Upon satisfactory completion of this course, you should have the knowledge and abilities to enter the
auto mechanics field at an entry level and be
issued a Canon City High School Vocational Certificate.
What are the requirements for a Canon City High School
Vocational Certificate?
1. You must have an attendance record of less than ten
days missed per year.
2. You must pass each quarter enrolled in the program with
a 70% average or better.
3. You must complete Car Care during your enrollment at
Canon City High School.
What will you need to bring?
1. You will need a notebook, paper and a pen or pencil
every day. The instructor will not loan you
one. You are expected to supply your own materials.
Borrowing from other students will result in the
lowering of your shop evaluation grade.
2. You must dress in a manner which will promote safety in
the class operation. This will include
one set of coveralls and safety glasses. (Colorado State
Requirement)
What must you do to pass?
1. You must attend class daily. Since you can only work
when you are in class, absences are very
detrimental to your grade. An excess of three shop
absences per quarter will result in a zero shop grade
unless the absences are made up. If you are truant, have
an unexcused absence, or are absent from class
because of these, there will be no make up. Absences in
excess of 10 per year will result in denial of
Vocational Certificate.
2. You must arrange with your auto instructor to make up
classes missed. Absences will be made up
on a time for time basis or a report of five written pages
turned in for every hour missed. All written
assignments and absences will be made up within one week
after your return to school.
3. You must be to class on time. You will be counted tardy
if you are not in your seat when the
tardy bell rings. If you forget your assignment or
notebook and must leave the classroom to get them, you
will be counted as tardy. TARDIES CANNOT BE MADE UP. THREE
PER QUARTER WILL LOWER
YOUR QUARTER GRADE BY ONE LETTER GRADE.
4. You must cooperate in helping the class run smoothly.
5. You must obey all safety rules. You must also pass a
safety test with a score of 100%.
6. You must perform well on all tests and examinations.
(70% or better)
7. You must turn all written assignments and homework in
and on time. Any late papers will be
accepted at 1/2 the graded value. Students that do not
have ALL assignments or tests turned in and current
will not be allowed to work on their own cars during class
time.
8. Any reckless or careless driving of your own car on
school property or customer cars during a test
drive will result in one letter grade drop for the
semester. In addition, you will loose the privilege of
working on your own car in class for the remainder of the
semester. Any student operating a vehicle on
school property must have a valid drivers license.
9. All auto students will have protective clothing and
safety glasses when working in the shop. If
you do not have proper clothing, you will be given a
written assignment to be completed in the classroom,
and a zero for the day.
