9th graders were visited by counselors in their Math classes last week. Counselors gave students tips for being successful in high school as they navigate their path to graduation. Students now know what credits are required for graduation. They also understand the impact of failing a class and how it affects their path to graduation. Students were advised to check Canvas/SIS daily. They were also advised to turn in ALL work, even if it's not perfect or complete; "some points are better than no points". Other tips were related to organization, attendance, involvement, and using counseling resources when necessary.

There is a new website and app called Keys to Success that all students are able to use. This is another option for students to use when researching college and careers. Students can earn points by using the app which can then be applied to prizes. Visit https://www.ktsutah.org/ to create an account. This is a free account for all Utah students.
