Naviance • Naviance is a college and career readiness platform that helps
connect academic achievement to post-secondary goals. It also
allows students to create a plan for their futures by helping them
discover their individual strengths and learning styles and explore
college and career options based on their results.
• All students will be introduced to Naviance in their Advisory class.

Anti-bullying Law
• Requires that we assign a staff member to be our anti-bullying
specialist:
Mrs. Heidi Roman – Hopkins building (Grade 9)
Mr. Troy Scott – Main building (Grades 10-12)
• The intent of the law is to be proactive to address bullying by
encouraging students and on-lookers to report bullying activity
when it first happens.
• All referrals of bullying will be investigated promptly.
• Consequences and rehabilitative measures and counseling will be
determined as a follow-up to the investigations.
• Training for teachers and informational sessions and activities for
students will be provided throughout the school year.
