South Valley Middle School students in accordance with the LPS strategic planning goal that "Every student will graduate college and career ready" begin the career exploration process. Each grade has various activities that help in that exploration.
Students will use a program called Schoolinks which will house their career exploration portfolio. To learn more about it, click on the LPS District Schoolinks page.
Students have an individual password and can use the program to explore and save information such as career interest, college/technical school interest, resume material, course planning, and much more.
