Xello! A new guidance resource platform.
Dear 11th grade families,
We’re excited to share that your student is using Xello, an engaging online program that helps students build essential skills for future success—both in school and beyond. On Monday, October 6th, all 11th graders participated in their initial career personality assessment called "Matchmaker" in Xello. Additionally, they completed the “Personality Styles” & “Mission Complete” assessments.
Through Xello, students explore career options, learn about post-secondary pathways, and set personal and academic goals. They complete interactive lessons, interest and skills assessments, and build a personalized portfolio that grows with them throughout their school years.
This program is designed to help students better understand themselves and make informed decisions about their future education and career plans. It supports conversations around their interests, strengths, and goals—both in and out of the classroom.
We encourage you to ask your student(s) about what they’re discovering in Xello. You can also explore the platform together at home.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students dream big and plan smart!
*Parents, you should be receiving an email from Xello inviting you to create an account that will be linked to your KHS student.
