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 my.dsd system. If there is not a date and/or time that will not work for you, please call our counseling center at (801)402-6708 to schedule a convenient time. It is our goal to meet with as many parents as we can.
7th Grade CCRs
We complete group CCR's with the 7th graders so we can check in with them and see how the transition from elementary school to junior high is going.
During CCR's, we:
Talk about friends and teachers.
Discuss getting involved in school clubs.
Review their academic goals.
Set new goals.
Look over their College and Career Awareness forms.
This CCR really helps the counselors get to know each student a little better.

8th CCRs are done individually with students and parents beginning in February.
During CCR's, we:
