10th Grade
Timeline
10th Grade Preparation
As we kick off your student's second year here at Jordan, the College and Career Center remains fully available to assist with planning for your student's future.
The Tenth Grade Timeline below consists of a more advanced and heavier workload than the previous year. College recruiters and admissions counselors can be more lenient with grades and activities from your student's ninth-grade experience, but the tenth-grade year is reviewed much more closely.
With that being said, in the case that your student may have been struggling during their ninth or tenth-grade years, it is not too late! Work with your student's counselor, the timeline below, and the College and Career Center to place your student on a pathway to succeed!
