Students from the Carpentry and Auto Body Departments joined forces to design and build a special prop for the Wakefield Fire Department Open House, which took place on Saturday, October 12. The prop was used to help teach fire prevention and fire safety to the public. This collaboration gave students valuable hands-on experience while supporting the fire department’s community outreach efforts. It’s another great example of how our shops work together to make a positive impact in the community.

On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, a detailed message was sent to all families explaining the NEASC Accreditation process for Northeast Metro Tech. As part of this process, we kindly ask each family to complete a brief survey (link). The survey should take approximately ten minutes to complete, and a high rate of participation is essential for the data to be valid.

Please keep the following details in mind before beginning a survey: 

Students who wish to try out or participate in a winter sport must meet eligibility requirements, register online through ArbiterSports, and have a current physical (within 13 months) on file with the Athletics Office. Families are encourage to upload their student's physical documentation directly to ArbiterSports. The Winter Athletics Parent Night will be held on Wednesday, December 11, at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. Golden Knights athletics information is available on the NEMT website under the Athletics tab.

At this time, parking spaces allotted for students have been filled. Members of the Senior Class who complete the Student Parking Application Form (using their Northeast email account) will be added to a waitlist. Grade 12 students on the waitlist will be contacted in the order of submission if student parking spaces become available.

As a reminder, spaces reserved for students are located in sections A and A2 on this image. All student vehicles parked on Northeast Metro Tech property must have a parking sticker properly displayed (affixed to the windshield above the inspection sticker on the passenger side). Detailed student parking information and expectations can be found by viewing this document.

Students are expected to engage in learning opportunities in each class/shop throughout the school day. Cell phones and smartwatches distract students from participating in lessons, completing assignments, contributing to class discussions, and collaborating with teachers and classmates. Unsanctioned cell phone/smartwatch use during instructional time is prohibited. All learning spaces, including classrooms and shop areas, are equipped with cell phone holders near the teacher’s desk, where students must place their silenced devices upon arrival. Violations, including unauthorized photographing or video recording, may result in disciplinary action. Students are permitted to use their devices during lunch.

Emergency calls by students should be made in an administrative office, and families should contact Office A (ext. 1644) for individual student needs. Headphones/earbuds may be used for educational purposes only; otherwise, students should remove them. Bluetooth speakers are not allowed in the building.

Families are encouraged to have frequent conversations about their student's growth and development to support their ongoing success. To guide these conversations and monitor student attendance and grades, students and families should log in to Aspen regularly. Students and parents/guardians have individual accounts with access to different resources, so parents should not share their accounts with their student. Students should click the "Sign in with Google" button to access their accounts, while parents should use their assigned username and password. For support using and navigating Aspen, take a moment to review the Aspen Parent Portal Information document and video, which can also be found under the Parent tab on the NEMT website. Families in need of Aspen support should contact us at nex2@northeastmetrotech.com.
