7th Grade Educational Development Plans (EDP)
In 7th grade Mrs. Suhajda recently shared a career exploration opportunity through Language Arts classes. An EDP Direction Sheet along with a video of their counselor taking them through the activities will be used to lead students through the process. Mrs. Suhajda will also offer live Help Sessions. The focus of the experience is to build self-knowledge, personalized plans and career awareness. Students take simple interest and learning inventories. They platform for this online investigation is XELLO (formerly Career Cruising). Through the XELLO program, counselor video, and live Zoom Help Sessions counselors hope to help students make connections between their interests, their personality, possible career clusters and plans for their future. XELLO has so much to offer students! Please ask your students to show you their EDP once they have completed the process. This EDP process continues each year throughout middle and high school and each year they will complete additional activities. The 7th grade activities include:

Mindfulness journal for students, parents & staff!
Mrs. Mainero created a 30 day mindfulness journal for students, parents, and staff in our community. It is a quick 3-minute journaling page to focus on the good in the morning and then reflect on the day in the evening. It is an editable PDF you can download. It can be printed or filled out on a computer and saved each day. We hope it can give some structure to focus on something good during this challenging and traumatic time.
