SSP at SHS • Various tasks are listed on our website which exist to help develop our students, see Student Success Plans. Tasks are identified for all students and by grade • These tasks are items done as part of curriculum, guidance, club… activities and facilitated by our faculty and staff members. • School Counselors work with each student to develop his/her individual plan for success • All tasks are saved on Naviance, a program which can be accessed in school and at home
SSP Advisory Program • Each student is part of a group of 13-15 students from their grade who will work with a certified staff member over the course of their time at SHS. • The advisor-advisee teams will meet during the school day between 2nd and 3rd periods, see schedule on our website under Student Success Plans • The focus for each session will be to provide practical, fun, hands-on activities and tools for success. • The goal is to have each student make an additional connection to an adult at SHS, which will help each student
