11th and 12th graders have the opportunity to participate in SSA, Student Success Agency:
"We are a student-centric tech platform that puts personal Agents in the palm of teens hands to support with academic, college, and career advising."
This is a modern spin on mentoring, with "agents" rather than mentors, interacting with students through a digital platform. "Agents" help support students' goals. Students will be matched by gender and personal interests with an agent who can support them with school and future plans.
*Mentoring
*Goal setting
*Academic, college and career advising
*Job application assistance
*Skill development
Access to text messaging and/or internet is needed to participate. Numbers are masked so that personal contact # is not shared.
Students will be provided an information session on Friday, September 6 and will be given a permission form for parents to sign. Sign up will begin after the assembly. Space is limited so return forms asap. Thanks to Gear Up funding, there is no charge to families for this service.
