5th Grade

This week, we learned about the Health Sciences Career Cluster! These jobs included doctor, surgeon, paramedic, lifeguard and nurse...just to name a few. Students enjoyed watching short videos where they learned more about these careers and then thought about if that was a career they might be interested in pursuing some day.

6th, 7th, 8th Grade

Students continued working through lessons on Xello. Xello is our online program that students access to learn about their individual strengths and then explore careers that align with those results. I would encourage you to ask your student what they are learning in those lessons.

8th Grade

We are just a couple of weeks away from the 8th Grade Job Shadow Experience! This event will happen on March 6th from 9-11. Students will get the opportunity to spend some time with a career of their choice. In order for this event to run smoothly, we need to know if parents are available to transport their student. Please take a couple of minutes to fill out THIS SURVEY to let us know your availability.
