How to Check Grad Requirements on Skyward
Welcome! This course is designed to help you successfully meet requirements for high school graduation as well as to guide you through activities to help you become college and career ready. To achieve these goals, we will meet twice a month. It is a real gift to be a part of your high school journey!
Organization: Most of our focus during advisory will be Xello which is full of activities to help you to become
- Self-Aware: Identify personal motivations, assets, and character traits.
- Knowledgeable: Identify a diversity of college, career and life activity options.
- Plan Ready: Outline a meaningful post-secondary plan that leads to a defined career field.
- Qualified: Define personal credentials and experiences
- Financially Ready: Outline a clear plan for effectively financing your post-secondary goals.
Don’t worry! If these seem fuzzy to you, the activities we work on over the course of our time in Advisory will help you see LIFE more clearly!
Grading
This is a participation-based class (pass/ fail). Just come to class and do the things that are designed to support your academic classes.
Materials: Each day, please bring the following items to class:
- Pen, pencil
- Independent reading book
- Work from another class (Although most of our time will be filled with activities from Xello, students work at various paces. You may finish earlier than others, so plan accordingly.)
Classroom environment: The most important rule for this class is RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS. We are here to work, so please come to class on time, be prepared, be appropriate, and be respectful. As a reminder, your instructor will follow RHS policy regarding electronic devices. DO NOT BRING THEM TO CLASS. If you must have them, please keep them silenced and put away.
Additionally, this year is another opportunity to get involved with all of the extracurricular opportunities available to you. Don’t wonder what could have happened if you had tried something new!
Let’s make this your BEST YEAR YET!
