*If you need assistance with the application process or copies of your child's test scores, grades, etc., I am more than happy to help! Just send me an email. Applications open November 1st. It is not a first come, first served, so take your time and evaluate your selections carefully. Here is the link for applying: High School Application
*ADVANCEMENT: Is your child looking to take classes higher than their current grade level next year? They can do this by showing mastery through CBE testing. For elementary students wanting to skip a grade level, they can do this by mastering the CEFA testings. Please contact me with any questions. (Mrs. Morales for CEFA)
Here is a link: CBE and CEFA
* SCHOOLINKS: The district has provided this wonderful resource in order to assist you and your child through their entire educational journey. SchooLinks is a modern, college and career readiness platform to prepare students for what comes after graduation. SchooLinks asks questions to helps student discover their interests and strengths, explore colleges and careers, and create an individualized career and academic plan that best reflects their post-secondary goals. It is also beneficial to parents as colleges/universities can be researched outlining admission requirements, tuition/fees, housing, and many more areas for any specific learning institution. This year students will now be working on their 4-year plan utilizing Schoolinks which will directly link to their schedule for the following school year. All students 6-8 should all have been exposed to this, but it is an ongoing venture. If your child says they are not familiar with Schoolinks, please have them stop by my office and I will give them a quick tutorial. When your child says their bored, please tell them to get on Schoolinks! They login through Clever. There is a screen outlining Sguggested Actions. This will tell them what they have overdue, and what deadlines are upcoming. It is something the district requires, but other than Advisory there is not a set time during the school day to fit this in, so we needs students to take the initiative to work on this program when they have any spare time either on campus in Advisory, upon work/assessment completion, or at home. The required activities are not time consuming at all! However, students can spend as much time on their research as they desire. Some reported that they found it fun, informative, and really enjoy it! Thank you for teaming with me on your child using this great tool.
Have a Great Day!
