Academic & Career Planning:
The student services team is excited to share with you the Kewaskum School District Academic and Career Planning Guide. This guide is intended to aid students in the creation of their academic and career plans. Organized by career clusters, it guides students in the intentional choosing of appropriate course work, lists clubs and organizations relevant to each career cluster, and details career focused experiences offered within each area of interest.
Students will also be participating in a series of academic and career planning (ACP) lessons throughout the school year during ELT. These lessons will help students develop their plans and graduate college and career ready. Many lessons will utilize Xelo. Students are encouraged to explore this resources on their own as well.
