8th grade students participated in their first Oregon CIS Jr. activity on September 27th! This lesson was an Oregon CIS Jr. online scavenger hunt. The purpose of this activity was to teach students how to utilize their Oregon CIS Jr. student accounts. Students also took a Career and College Readiness survey, which students will take again at the end of the school year. This survey will help us measure the effectiveness of Oregon CIS Jr.
7th grade students will participate in this activity on October 11th.
