Covid-19 Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

1. What is the most important thing we can do now while the school is closed?

Easy Question. STAY SAFE! This should be more important than anything else you read from this point forward.

 

2. What was the purpose of the online classes?

ETI’s goal with the online classes is to try to complete the classroom portion of all classes, enable students to focus on lab upon return, and to keep students focused and on task to complete their programs.

 

3. When will assignments be graded?

There are some assignments that are graded directly in Google Classroom, however, the majority of them will be turned in and graded on June 2nd, upon your arrival back to school.

 

4. Will we have time to do our labs when we return to school?

Absolutely. June 2nd through June 8th, students will return to school during their regularly scheduled classes to focus on the lab portion of their class. ETI instructors will be available in between day and night classes AND Saturday, June 6th from 8:00am – 8:00pm for any students that would like to continue to work on projects.

Students who feel they are comprehending the material or do not have the time to devote to the online learning, can request a Leave of Absence by emailing Elizabeth DiCriscio. The leave of absence will cause you to repeat the current module upon your return.

 

8. Why are we having a vacation?

ETI has purchased sanitizing stations that will be located at the front desk. The cafeteria and career services center will be closed. We will be testing all students’ temperatures via thermal thermometers upon arrival to the school. We have signs posted throughout the building that state “IF YOU DO NOT FEEL 100% HEALTHY, STAY HOME”. Students, staff and faculty are free to wear any type of clothing they feel is necessary for safety purposes. The campus has also undergone a deep sanitizing cleaning and it will be done again prior to opening.
