Student Activities

The district has secured grant money to fund the purchase of a Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES). PAES is a research-based hands-on assessment tool which will allow students enrolled in the Work-Based Learning Seminar and the Life-Skills program at Syosset High School the opportunity to explore nearly 300 jobs in 5 careers. In a classroom converted to a workplace lab, students will find a unique opportunity to engage in various employment experiences with support from faculty and staff to develop pre-vocational and work-readiness skills, while exploring their interests, strengths, and preferences. PAES encourages and promotes workplace independence, facilitates transition planning and job placement, and allows students to strengthen their skill set for future competitive employment.
