2. Data

b. We meet with teachers and administration to address concerns and find the best possible solutions for students.

3. Plan for Career and College Readiness

b. We do career assessments to determine classes that would be a good fit for each student and help find career options.

c. We create four-year plans with our 8th and 9th grade students.

d. Discuss college and post-high school education opportunities.

4. Guidance Curriculum
