Xello is an online career exploration and planning tool available to Coeur d'Alene Public School students starting in middle school. Activities within Xello are integrated into the curriculum, but we encourage students to continue exploration at home with family members and to discuss results.

Using Xello, students discover how their strengths and interests align with careers that inspire them. Then, they build the academic plan to get them there. Students will more clearly understand how the school coursework they do today impacts the life they live beyond graduation. Our hope is that this tool will be utilized by all secondary students in our district.

Students will use Xello throughout their time at Lake City High School. Using Xello in combination with our College and Career Curriculum allows students to develop a college and career portfolio showcasing the students' growth through high school and their preparation for their post-secondary goals.

When exploring future options, there are many different things students need to consider and plan for. While it is important for students to take ownership in planning for their future, caring adults in their life play an essential supporting role. Family engagement in a child's education has been proven to have positive academic outcomes. Having both educators and guardians on the same page when it comes to a student's future goals helps keep students engaged and encourages them to continue pursuing their journey to college and career readiness.
