Career Exploration for 7th and 8th Graders
Gail, our school counselor, worked with all 7th/8th graders this week to complete an online quiz to explore the student interests and careers that best fit them. Students can log on at home to show you their results, look at salaries and job growth, and find educational opportunities within Washington state for the careers they are interested in. Paper versions of the quiz and a family handout were sent home as well.
In the next week, students will complete a Holland Interest Inventory and begin their High School and Beyond Plan within their homerooms. Contact Gail with any questions or for more information. |
