Tri-Star      Information

I. Tri-Star Orientation

All sophomores attended an informational presentation on November 11, 2008 during 6^th period in the commons.  Each of you should have received a 2009-2010 Tri-Star Program Catalog.  If you missed the presentation, see Mrs. Kaiser.

II.   Sophomore Visits

Sophomores are invited to spend ½ day visiting a Tri-Star program of their choice.    This visit provides you with an opportunity to try a program hands-on.  Interested FRHS sophomores will visit on January 27, 2009.

Notes:

• You are not obligated to visit Tri-Star on January 27.  It is optional.
• You can only choose to visit ONE LOCATION (Celina Ed. Complex OR Celina HS OR Coldwater OR St. Marys) during the ½ day visit.  You should have indicated which location you would like to visit on the sheet that was passed out (and collected) at the presentation.   Students can visit 2 different programs at the same location if they wish.
• The visit does not enroll you in the program.  If you wish to attend Tri-Star next year, you must complete an application to apply for admission. 
• If you change your mind about which program you’d like to visit, see Mrs. Kaiser ASAP!!
• You will receive more detailed information about the visit in January.

III. Tri-Star Open House

• There will be an evening open house on February 2, 2009 (see p. 3 of catalog) if you would like to visit a Tri-Star program with your parents.

IV. Tri-Star Applications

• Applications are available in the Guidance Office.  They are due back to Mrs. Kaiser no later than Thursday, February 5, 2009.
• Final rosters (i.e. who got into each program) will be available around February 18.

V. Miscellaneous

• Engineering Technology/C.A.D. is the only 1-year program that Tri-Star offers.  Students can enroll in this program as a Junior or as a Senior.

• Juniors attend Tri-Star in the morning, seniors attend in the afternoon.

As always, see Mrs. Kaiser if you have any questions.
