IMG_2856IMG_2858Parent portfolio night  is designed to include parents in what their children are learning each school year.  Parents learn the drafting and AutoCAD skills that their children are learning during class time.  During portfolio night the student  becomes the teacher and the parent becomes the student. It is required for each parent to come to at least 2 portfolio nights, as the work assigned  counts towards their children ‘s portfolio grade.

On September 26 parents helped their children on the construction of bridge designs. Each student explained to their parent what type of bridge construction they are working on in class and why they chose their bridge design.
