Introduction to Students: (Teacher Read Aloud)

• • ACP stands for Academic Career Plans.

  • These plans help students learn more about: Who Am I? Where Am I Going? How Will I Get There? Let's Do It!

  • Once per month, we will have an ACP day during Blackhawk Period.

  • During this time, students will work on their own Academic and Career Plan using  Xello or other means to create their Senior Exit Portfolio.

Xello Student Set Up

• Xello is a career & college exploration site utilized by schools.

• Please have students enter Xello clicking on the following link (be sure they are logged into their school google account first) :

• • Throughout the course of the year, students will be completing activities to learn more about themselves, to explore options for careers & college, and to create goals and plans for the future!

  • Advise students to bookmark this link into their favorites!

Contributing to My Senior Portfolio

• Every year, students will be collecting and housing Work Artifacts in their Senior Portfolio Class Folder in their Google Drive in preparation for their Senior Portfolio, which is required for Graduation.

• The Senior Portfolio is showcase of you as a student.  It will demonstrate your strengths, interests, future career plans, and samples of work you have completed here at school!
