Counseling Corner
Hello North Lake Families,
Our students at North Lake start early in exploring academic and career planning. This is a journey that evolves over time. Planning doesn’t mean students need to have all the answers right now. We work to help your child build self-awareness and exposure to as many career options as possible.
How do we do this?
Grade | Activity |
All grades | Career exploration, discussion of strengths and interests, connecting school skills to career skills, Junior Achievement lessons delivered by parent volunteers |
5th | Junior Achievement BizTown curriculum and field trip |
6th-8th | Use of Xello (online platform) to document interests and do career exploration |
8th | Waukesha Business Alliance career focused field trips |
A big thank you to our Junior Achievement volunteers for this year!

Let me know if you’d like to join the fun for next year! It’s a great opportunity to volunteer in your child’s classroom.
As always, let me know if there is anything I can do to support your child!
