Xello (College and Career Readiness) School Counseling Presentations
Students can access their Xello accounts by logging in through "Clever".
Xello is an online program your child is using in school to help them prepare for the future. It offers a variety of activities from kindergarten to the end of high school. These activities help students build self-knowledge, explore their options, and create achievable plans. They develop the 21st-century skills needed to thrive in the world of work.
It’s important for students to take ownership in planning for their future. But the caring adults in their life play an essential supporting role. Use your student's Xello account on Clever to see your child’s work in future-readiness. Use this opportunity to discuss and support their future goals and plans.
