Monday May 14, 2018 - Ready For Summer?

8th gaders are here today and tomorrow, then no more...
 

Entrance Ticket - Ready for Summer?
When subscribing, sometimes you will need information that maybe you don’t think you have… 
like a “company” or sometimes they will not accept a @gmail email address.  Here is what I 
recommend: Use an email you will have access to next year or 2 years from now. Use your real 
name, address, email and phone number, typically I do not get any phone calls.  Use SVCTE as 
the “company” name. If they ask you for a “Job Title”, or “What Do You Do”, select “Student” 
if that is an option, otherwise select something like “Design Engineer” or “Research & Development”.  
Pick a password that is different than your email or Instagram… but that you will always remember.
