What is the ACP process for Bristol School students?
Bristol School District uses Xello to support 6th-8th grade students in their ACP process and future planning.
Academic and career planning and readiness is a gradual process that grows from year to year through high school and even beyond that.
This gradual process celebrates, supports, and acknowledges the unique interests, skills, and talents of students as they plan for their futures.
Xello allows students to take interest and skill inventories, explore post-secondary options, and offers a place to save helpful future planning ideas and information.
Starting soon in 2025: In addition to using Xello to support 6th-8th grade students in their ACP process and future planning, Bristol School District will be using Xello with Kindergarten-5th grade students too.
