have access to a new computer program that will benefit our students,
and some parents, in a tremendous way. It is named KUDER.
The teachers had an In-Service on this program on Jan. 3. KUDER
has been available to the public schools for quite some time,
but, now with additional funding, it is being offered to private
schools and parochial schools, as well. This on-line program can
assist in college and scholarship searches; it can be an opportunity
to explore careers. KUDER can give tips and advice in compiling
a portfolio or a resume. You may get material for access to KUDER
from the Counselor’s office or go directly to mo.kuder.com
and follow the prompts.
