Do your students know what they want to do after high school? Let the recently updated Pathfinder help them find career and school pathways that fit them. Pathfinder allows you to compare pathways to find the right route. Help them get started at Pathfinder.MiTalent.org. #Pathfinder #Careers #College.

Access to these resources will also be on the district website College & Career Readiness

We appreciate your partnership in maintaining a safe and positive learning environment for our students and staff. As a reminder, all visitors must follow these important safety protocols:

• All visitors must use the intercom at the front door to notify the office of their arrival. Office staff will ask to see your identification and confirm the purpose of your visit before granting access to the building.
• Visitors volunteering in classrooms or conducting business beyond the main office must register through the Raptor Visitor Management System, which includes a background check.
