Welcome Students and Families of 7th Grade!

Hello 7th graders! I hope that you and your families are all doing well!  My name is Mrs. Pena and I am your School Counselor.  I am looking forward to a great School Year.  

My 3 main areas are to provide you with social/emotional support, academic support, and career exploration.  Please take some time to explore the activities and information I have posted below as well as the "Academic Resources, Social Emotional Resources, Career Exploration" and "Support" tabs on this website.  

UPDATES: 

 I highly recommend that you "LIKE" the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College page on Social Media--Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.  Our school posts helpful information there daily.  I also recommend that you check www.dpsk12.org periodically for updates.  


If you need immediate assistance, please use the following support lines:

7th Grade ICAP Topics

I look forward to making ICAP a meaningful experience for you!  Here are the topics we will be exploring in 7th grade:

Quarter 1:  We will review extra curricular activities, such as Sports and Clubs, available at DMLK.  Students will identify 3 they are interested in.  Students will also learn about Resumes.  

Quarter 2:  Students will complete a Strengths Explorer Survey and find 3 strengths they have as well as identify 2 Career Paths that relate to those Strengths.

Quarter 3: Students will learn about the 4 main options after High School: Go to work, Go to college, Go to a Technical School, or Join the Military.  Students select which they plan to do.    Students also will learn about ways to make College more affordable.   

Quarter 4:  Students will reflect on their academic goals and attitude and write 2 things they will work on for the rest of the school year.
