Student Recognition and Certification

June 2, 2020

We are excited to celebrate our Class of 2020 students during the week of June 8- 11!

We sincerely hope you are able to join us as we celebrate your child’s accomplishments.  As an alternative to our regularly scheduled event at RIT, we will be holding a “Drive Thru” ceremony for students who successfully complete their EMCC program.  Each EMCC program has a specific date and time for students to attend the ceremony.  Those dates and times, along with additional details can be found by clicking on the Ceremony Announcement link below. 

Click here for the Drive Thru Ceremony Announcement.

There are 2 versions of the map that show where cars are supposed to line up and the route they will drive for the ceremony.  Additionally, EMCC staff will be located along the route to direct parents and students to the appropriate area.

Version 1 is for students in the New Vision Medical Careers or Trade Electricity programs.

Version 2 is for students in all other EMCC programs.

Disney Trip

June 12, 2020

I have learned the Disney Refunds did not go out this past week as planned.  The claims auditor had questions we had to answer before checks could be mailed.  I apologize for the continued delay.  I anticipate checks will be mailed on Monday, June 15th.

June 2, 2020

The anticipated date for checks to mailed has been changed to June 8, 2020.  We apologize for the delay.

May 12, 2020

Refunds have been received from the various vendors we work with.  The required paperwork has been submitted to our business office to initiate the refund process.  The paperwork has to be verified for accuracy and then reviewed a second time by our internal auditor.  There is one other refund process currently taking place for elsewhere in the organization.  Once that is complete, the verification and audit of the Disney refund will be conducted.

The anticipated date for checks to be mailed out is June 1, 2012.

Call (585) 387-3815, if you have questions regarding an anticipated refund.

updated 4/5/20

The overnight trip to Disney World is cancelled.  Parents/students will be reimbursed for the amount of money they paid for the trip.  As you can imagine, there are number of different entities that require payments in order for our students to participate in this unique opportunity.  Flight and hotel resevations, ground transportation, meals and more had to be arranged and paid for.  It is going to take some time for us to seek refunds from the various entities.  Once refunds have been received, we will be able to process reimbursements for parents/students. 

We ask for your patience as we navigate this process.  Please check back here for updates.

SkillsUSA

Refund checks for SkillsUSA are on schedule to be mailed out the week of May 11th.  We apologize this has taken longer than anticipated.

April 5, 2020

The SkillsUSA state competition has been cancelled.  We are working with SkillsUSA to get a refund for the deposit we paid.  Parents/Students will receive refunds for the full amount that was paid.  We ask for your patience as we work through this process.  Check back here for status updates.

Grading and Reporting Guidelines

updated April 5, 2020

For the duration of the school closure, traditional grading practices have been suspended. Any learning activity completed at home will be assessed using a formative approach with qualitative feedback applied for the purpose of informing a student of their progress towards identified learning goals/targets.

Report Cards

Updated April 5, 2020

Third quarter report cards will not be completed in EMCC programs. Instead, third and fourth quarter will be combined and completed at the end of the school year. Students are encouraged to continue to submit incomplete work from the third quarter. Depending on the length of our school closure we will determine if Quarter 4 will be represented with numerical grades or a Pass/Fail scale.

Many EMCC programs offer dual enrollment credit through MCC or GCC.  

Dual Enrollment Courses (MCC and GCC) must adhere to the standards established by colleges in order for students to earn dual enrollment (college) credit. This may require the calculation of a traditional numeric grade.

Please click on the link below for an important message from MCC regarding dual enrollment credit.

Our teachers have reached out to students to discuss the information contained in the message.
