Crosstown Challenge is Coming!
News from our Counseling Department.
Recently District 200 purchased a license for a program called Xello for students in grades 7-12. Xello is software that helps students create their own unique roadmap for future success. Through the use of this tool, students will be able to personalize their path through self-knowledge, exploration and planning.
Throughout their 4 years in high school, students will work with their school counselor to research careers and their pathway to getting there. Students can enhance that experience by continuing work on their own with the various lessons that have been assigned to each grade level.
One of the really convenient features on Xello is that seniors can request their transcripts be sent to the different colleges and universities they are applying to! The Registrar will receive a notification and get them sent within two business days. **Please make sure you have a release on file in the Counseling Office**
To log in and begin exploring, students need to be logged in to their District 200 Google account. After that, they can look for the Xello link under the “wcusd200.org bookmarks” to sign in!
