As we head into the end of the school year, we wanted to update you regarding the Academic and Career Planning process.
Students will be wrapping up some of the following activities throughout the third and fourth quarter:
- Continued community building: Establishing supportive, trusting, and inclusive relationships with mentors and classmates
- School-based: Unique lessons designed by individual schools
- High Schools: Test taking reinforcement of ACT (Method Test Prep), job seeking skills and activities, college research, time management, growth mindset, financing plans post high school, and conferencing with their mentor teacher
- Middle Schools: Exploring interests, skills, careers, learning styles, and high school courses as they relate to career interests
As we head into the summer, here are some suggested college/career readiness activities that would be beneficial to students:
- Talk to your students about their career interests, ask questions, share details of your career journey. Use these questions as a guide.
- Take your student to work so he/she gets a better understanding of what your career entails.
- Job shadow a relative or friend in a pathway of interest for your student.
- Plan a college tour- don’t forget about Carroll, UW-Waukesha, or WCTC. It is best to call admissions and make an appointment if you would like a guided tour.
- Consider enrolling your student in pre-college summer programs offered at local colleges such as: UW-Milwaukee, UW-Waukesha, Carroll, and WCTC.
- Prepare for the ACT using Method Test Prep (all 9-11 grade students have access to this via Xello) and additional resources can be found at the high school or Waukesha Public Library.
- If your student will be a senior next year, it would be beneficial to start the application process (essays, resume, application) for colleges and begin to look for scholarship opportunities-some can be found on the Xello website.

Hola familias,
A medida que nos acercamos al final del año escolar, queremos actualizarlo en relación al proceso de la Planificación Académica y de Carrera Profesional.
Los estudiantes estarán terminando algunas de las siguientes actividades durante el tercer y cuarto trimestre:
- CONTINUAR Construyendo Comunidad: Estableciendo relaciones de apoyo, de confianza e inclusivas con mentores y compañeros de clase
- Basado en la escuela: Lecciones únicas diseñadas por escuelas individuales
- Escuelas Preparatorias: Refuerzo para tomar la Prueba Universitaria Americana (American College Test, ACT) utilizando el Método de preparación para la prueba (Method Test Prep), habilidades y actividades para buscar empleo, investigación de universidades / colegios técnicos, administración del tiempo, mentalidad de crecimiento, planificación financiera para después de la escuela preparatoria y consultar con su maestro mentor.
- Escuelas Secundarias: Explorar intereses, habilidades, carreras profesionales, estilos de aprendizaje, y cómo se relacionan los cursos de la escuela preparatoria a las carreras de su interés.
A medida que nos acercamos al verano, aquí hay algunas sugerencias de actividades para la preparación de la universidad o colegio técnico /carrera profesional que serían beneficiosas para los estudiantes:
- Hable con su estudiante acerca de sus intereses de carreras, hágale preguntas, comparta detalles de su trayectoria de trabajo.
- Use estas preguntas como una guía (EN ESPAÑOL)
- Lleve a su estudiante a su trabajo de manera que él/ella tenga un mejor entendimiento de todo lo que implica su carrera
- Que su estudiante observe en el trabajo a un pariente de la familia o amigo que trabaja en el campo que le interesa
- Planifique una visita a una universidad y/o a un colegio técnico - no se olvide de la Universidad Carroll, la Universidad de Wisconsin Waukesha o el Colegio Técnico del Condado de Waukesha (WCTC). Es mejor llamar a la oficina de admisiones y hacer una cita si le gustaría hacer un recorrido con un guía.
- Considere inscribir a su estudiante en programas de verano pre-universitarios, ofrecidos en ciertas universidades / colegios técnicos locales como por ejemplo la Universidad de Wisconsin Milwaukee, Universidad de Wisconsin Waukesha, Universidad Carroll y el Colegio Técnico del Condado de Waukesha (WCTC).
- Prepararse para la Prueba Universitaria Americana (American College Test, ACT), utilizando el Método de preparación para la prueba (Method Test Prep) (Todos los estudiantes de 9º-11º grado tienen acceso a este recurso a través de Xello) y pueden encontrar recursos adicionales en la Biblioteca de la Escuela Preparatoria o en la Biblioteca Pública de Waukesha.
- Si su estudiante estará en el 12⁰ grado el próximo año escolar, será beneficioso empezar el proceso de aplicación (ensayos, curriculum, aplicación) para universidades y/o colegios y comenzar a buscar oportunidades de becas - se pueden encontrar algunas becas en el sitio web Xello.
