Exploring Future Pathways: Innovation and Career Opportunities
We are excited to share some amazing opportunities for our LaunchED students to explore their future career and academic paths! We highly encourage all parents to mark their calendars for the Innovation Center (IC) Open House and the Career Elevation Technology Center (CETC) Open House in December (click here for schedule). These events are the best way to hear firsthand how our LaunchED students can access and benefit from these dynamic, specialized programs, while also being a student in LaunchED.
Before those open houses, we are bringing this information directly to our students. We will be hosting a special virtual assembly on November 17th at 10:30 AM for all students in grades 8th through 11th in their Advisory class. Representatives from both the Innovation Center and CETC will join us to discuss the programs available. We will also send a recording of this assembly home to families so that you can review this information with your student about potential opportunities at the IC and the CETC in the future!

Student Art of the Week! High School Beginning Photography
Beginning Photography students have been learning editing techniques such as double exposure, using the Snapseed app on their iPads. 10th grade student Alexa used this technique to create a unique effect by combining two self portraits. This is Alexa’s first time taking Photography, and she said she enjoys putting photos together and editing them look really cool.
