Welcome to Aerospace, Aviation, and Project Lead the Way
Dear Parent/Guardian and Student,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Intro to Aviation, Aviation Ground School and the Project Lead the Way Class Engineering Design and Development (EDD). These classes are an exciting curriculum being offered at Battery Creek High School. Our goal is to equip students with the requisite education and work skills to be successful in the fields of aviation and engineering at a time when technology is constantly reinventing itself every few years.
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a not-for-profit organization (from the Rochester Institute of Technology), that promotes pre-engineering courses for middle and high school students. PLTW forms partnerships with public schools, higher education institutions, and the private sector to increase the quantity and quality of engineers and engineering technologists graduating from our educational system. There is a critical shortage of people well versed in STEM and associated technologies. For more information and answers to frequently asked questions about PLTW, please visit their website at: http://www.pltw.org
I feel it is very important for parents and teachers to communicate. Please do not hesitate to contact me with your concerns. You may call the school (322-5500) or preferably email me at [email protected]
In an effort to do more things electronically and use less paper I have posted my course syllabus online and students will be using Weebly extensively for their coursework.
I am excited about our program and I'm sure your student will have a productive and successful experience in Aviation and PLTW. I hope that upon finishing this course your student will choose to continue on to other Aviation and upper level PLTW courses being offered at Battery Creek High School. The future is now.
Sincerely,
Anthony P. Petrucci
