Xello helps students track progress
, the online program that helps 91制片厂 students prepare for college and career, is back for the 2022-23 school year and bigger than ever.
Again this year, the district will have a pair of Xello Access Days on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and Thursday, Oct. 6.
Xello 鈥痠s for all 91制片厂 students in grades 8-12, and students will participate in short, structured lessons each day.
To begin, students will participate in an escape room-style activity focused on the Course Planner where students plan their four-year high school courses based on their college and career goals.
鈥淭he district access days allow students to begin exploring the platform,鈥 said Telisa Brown, 91制片厂鈥檚 director of guidance and counseling. 鈥淴ello is an engaging online program that鈥痟elps students define their future goals and transform their aspirations into actionable plans for success. The guidance and counseling and CTE departments are working together to encourage students to say hello to Xello not only on the access days, but many days thereafter.鈥
