As the midpoint of the 2nd marking period rapidly approaches, Mrs. Barber-Devine has been busy meeting with students of academic concern and identifying ways to improve.
Last month students used Naviance to take Career Key, an inventory which uses Holland's Theory of Career Choice to help identify students personality types and matches students to the careers that fit them best for long-term success. Students have the results saved in their on-line Naviance portfolios.
Grade 8
We will soon be focusing on high school scheduling!! Information will be forthcoming. Mrs. Funaro will continue meeting with students of academic concern.
