College and Career Planning

DMS students begin the career exploration process in middle school. Each grade has various activities that help in that exploration.

Students will use a program called Schoolinks, which is their career exploration portfolio. 

Students have an individual password and can use the program to explore and save information such as career interests, college/technical school interests, resume materials, course planning, and much more.
