CHECKPOINTS

Dedicated to all students and helpful for parents. Each grade level will have references and checkpoints to help students monitor their successes and identify their needs as a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior.

Although all grade levels will have similar checkpoints, there are also checkpoints exclusive to the grade level. This page is a guideline for students to self-advocate and self-monitor.
