EIGHTH GRADE EXPLORE (Saturday, December 17, 2011)We are offering 8th grade students the opportunity to take the EXPLORE exam. More than ever before, it is important that all students have the skills needed to be successful in college and the workplace. Becoming college-ready does not happen overnight; students develop these skills by taking rigorous courses in high school.
|
|
EXPLORE helps 8th and 9th graders build high school course plans that will prepare them for college and work and introduces them to career options that are relevant to them.
EXPLORE scores provide early indicators of whether students are on track for college. With plenty of time before students graduate, teachers can use this information to focus on areas of need. Students who take EXPLORE are more likely to be ready for college. Learn more about EXPLORE resources for students at www.actstudent.org.
Mrs. Dick is our school’s 7th grade counselor and Ms. Woods is the counselor for the 8th grade. Both are available at any time. Call (620) 227-1610 and ask for specific counselor.
