Dear Parents:
My Promise to You
Thank you for the opportunity to work with your child in LCISD Automotive Program: This course is the first course in the
Automotive Program. We meet for one period hour every day, all year long. This course is a hands-on, real-world curriculum. In this
course, students will learn from using CDX Maintenance and Light Repair software, lectures, and hands on repairs in a controlled
environment. Teamwork and solving “real world” problems will be a focus throughout the year.
Please know that I take it as a personal challenge to see that your child becomes the best student and person he or she can possibly
become. I promise to try my best to teach, motivate, encourage and care for your child as I would my own. I am driven to see your
child experience success in my classroom.
Safety
Strong emphasis is given to safety in the lab. Due to the nature of the class, some projects may require work to be done with small
hand and power tools. Each student will receive instruction and must demonstrate ability to operate such equipment before using
certain tools on projects. All students must complete and pass a Safety Program. All students must have an emergency form on
file before they will be able to go out in the shop. The form is on the reverse side. The Student must also provide Leather
Shoes. Safety glasses will be provided for them.
Materials
This class offers the student the opportunity to use CDX Maintenance and Light Repair software as well as hands-on techniques for
projects and automotive repairs. All supplies and materials for projects will be provided. However, your child should have his/her
own folder, pencils or pen for taking notes and a USB flash drive are helpful, but not required. All class room PowerPoint
presentations, videos, and practice test are available for download on USB flash drive. Please encourage your child to bring these
materials daily.
I thank you again for the opportunity to work with your child. I strongly encourage and request parent involvement and contact during
the year. I gladly keep parents posted on student progress and any concerns that may arise. I believe the students at Lamar
Consolidated High School are the best and I love to brag on them. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me
through the school office at (832) 223-3000 or by email at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
George Dishman
Automotive Instructor
