Students also learned about how knowing your personality style is helpful in many aspects of life including when thinking of career choices. They were informed of the activity in Xello they are encouraged to complete.
We will visit with them again in the spring to talk update their 4 year plans, talk about graduation requirements, and more.

Xello - Parent Portal
When exploring future options, there are many different things students need to consider and plan for. While it is important for students to take ownership in planning for their future, the caring adults in their life play an essential supporting role.
Family engagement in a child's education has been proven to have positive academic outcomes. Having both educators and guardians on the same page when it comes to a student's future goals helps keep students engaged and encourages them to continue pursing their journey to college and career readiness.
With the addition of Xello's Family Portal parents/guardians are being invited to gain full visibility into their students' future goals and plans so they can better support their learning and development. Whether a family has one child, 3 children, or even more, parents and guardians can access all of their students' work in one location.
If the link to set this portal up in your email is expired, please reach out to Max Hohle to have a new one sent. max.hohle@cdaschools.org
