Career & College Resources

Naviance

Naviance is a tool that students will begin using in 8th grade and will continue using throughout their high school careers. In this tool, students will engage in inventories, career exploration, and 4 year course planning while at JMS. As they transition to the high school, they will use it for resume building, letters of recommendation, scholarship applications, and much more. Check out the Powerpoint presentation below to learn more about how Naviance is used in our district.
