Complete your Student Information Forms
Parents and Guardians, this is VERY important.
OneView is the student information database that provides information to all our support systems, including medical and parking forms. Your student needs this task accomplished so that both you and your student can access the Canvas student and parent sites, PaySchools Central (to manage your meal accounts), and receive their district-provided Google Chromebook. It also provides the district with updated contact information so that we can keep everybody informed and updated.
All students must have their parents/guardians complete these forms before the first day of school. Please make sure that the information for your information is accurate before the start of the school year.
Uniforms/Spirit Wear
Students must follow the EFCTS District uniform policy.
While students are in their program lab, they will be expected to adhere to the required uniform, chosen by their instructor.
NOTE: While your lab uniform is required attire, some labs may allow you to purchase certain elements of your uniform from outside vendors. Please see your uniform reference guide or ask your instructor if this applies to you.
When students are outside of their lab, they may continue to wear their lab uniform OR wear EFCTS spirit wear.
If you have questions regarding uniform orders, please contact our uniform vendor, Proforma.
