Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES)
The Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES) lab is located at the Rondo campus. PAES is a semester-long class designed to teach students work-based learning skills in a structured environment. Each student will have weekly tasks to complete and will be assessed based on their completion and professionalism. The students will be provided assessments at the middle and end of the semester. The students will be given a report on their work skills, what they have mastered, and the skills they should continue to develop. Students only take PAES once during their high school career and PAES is open to students district-wide.
