I'm Monica Jones, your College & Career Readiness Coach, and I'm excited to work with you on your journey to success after high school. My goal is to make sure every Douglass scholar feels prepared for whatever path they choose, whether it's college, a career, or something else.
I have high expectations for all of you, and I challenge you to take advantage of the many resources and opportunities available here and at our school. I am here to be a resource and an advocate for you. Feel free to stop by my office in E207 anytime for help and register for upcoming College & Career Readines (CCR) events by clicking the link below. General resources are provided below. Please navigate to the College & Career Readiness menu option to access grade level CCR resources.

You may know that Canvas is the platform that your students use to access their course information, assignments and resources but did you know that your scholar has access to a grade level Counseling, College and Career Canvas Course? If not, I'm excited to spread the news. Often scholars receive resources and information at school (or via email, Remind, and Canvas) and some of that information doesn't make it home, so as an educator and parent, I want to take a few minutes to walk you through our Counseling & CCR Canvas Course.

Remind your scholar to accept their course invite through Canvas (the invitation should appear at the top of their Canvas screen when they log into Canvas.
Each grade level has their own CCR Canvas Course with pertinent counseling, college and career resources.
This course serves as an informational resource to students.
