College & Career Readiness (CCR)

What is a CCR?

A CCR is a College and Career Readiness Plan. We like to meet with each student and their parent at least one time every school year. The meetings last about 30 minutes. In general, we look at how the student is doing academically, emotionally and socially. We evaluate and set new goals to keep the student moving forward toward their life goals. We celebrate each student's unique contributions to our school and community. You will receive an email with directions on how to set up an appointment through the myDSD system. If there is not a date and/or time that will not work for you, please call Mrs. Hadley or Mrs. Lanier at (801) 402-6207 to schedule a convenient time. It is our goal to meet with as many parents as we can.

7th grade CCRs take place in September and October. We meet with the 7th graders first so we can check in with them and see how the transition from elementary school to junior high is going.

• We talk about friends and teachers.
• We discuss getting involved in school clubs.
   

This CCR really helps the counselors get to know each student a little better.

8th grade group CCRs take place from November to February. We meet with students and parents for a 30-minute appointment.

• We begin to discuss a 4-year plan for high school.
• We evaluate their goals and grades.
• We set new goals.
• We review interest inventories and career surveys completed through the Keys to Success and You Science websites.

9th grade CCRs take place beginning in November and December. We meet with students and parents for a 30-minute appointment. We like to meet at this time, so students are ready for high school registration which occurs in January/February for BHS and WXHS. 

• We review student's grades and credits.
• We set goals.
• We discuss career choices and courses that support those career choices.
• We begin discussing college requirements.
• We will share some websites (Keys to Success) that are helpful in choosing a college.
