I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing break. Let's finish these last 3 weeks of the semester strong!

During our late start day last week, students began exploring potential career paths through Xello, our career exploration program. This is a great opportunity for them to reflect on their interests and start thinking about their future goals.

We encourage you to sit down with your child and talk about their Xello profile —what they learned during the process and any new career ideas that sparked their interest. We will continue to explore career options and develop individual plans of study throughout the year, helping students begin the process of making informed decisions about their future.

Additionally, if you haven't yet signed up to participate in our Career Fair on January 17, and you’re interested in sharing about your career path, please fill out this form: Career Fair Sign-Up.

We wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable fall break!

When we return from break we will have our Scholastic Book Fair.
