1. It’s Naviance Time Senior Advisory Assigned Computer Labs

2. USE YOUR TIME WISELY Time is money… It is something we all have heard. But really it is. Your time is valuable. You are valuable. Take advantage of this short time to update information in Naviance. This only helps us help you. Use this time to complete the career assessments, update any applications, and look for at least two possible scholarships.

3. COMPUTER LAB ASSIGNMENTS FOR SENIORS For Computer Lab activities put a sign on your door so the office or students coming late can find your class. Time is limited on computer days – have students report directly to the computer lab and log in immediately to get started. If you have a COW, try to have it in your room before ACU and have students setting up and turning on the laptops at the very beginning. This may not always be possible but can be a time-saver.
