College & Career Readiness
College and Career Readiness
During the Spring semester of their 7th grade year, students engage in a CCR (College Career Readiness) meeting. This is an opportunity for 7th grade students and parents to meet with their school counselor to discuss academic pathways that they can explore throughout their junior high and high school careers.
Research demonstrates that students do better when parents are involved in their education. The CCR process invites parents into the school to plan and monitor their child’s progress toward achieving his or her educational goals. The topics discussed include:
- Review of student progress (i.e. attendance, grades, strengths/challenges).
- Course and pathway planning for 8th grade and high school graduation.
- Goal setting and discussion of values and expectations for the future.
- Naviance Family Connection
Option 1: Individual CCR Meetings - 1-29-24 through 4-12-24
Appointments are available Monday through Thursday and typically last 30 minutes. The student and parents attend the meeting together. The student will need to bring their laptop.
