The Sequoia Union High School District Compass Program is an 18-day transition-to-success program for incoming ninth-grade students. The main emphasis of Compass is to provide incoming 9th grade students with the opportunity to acclimate to their new high school environment through both academic and social interaction activities.

Compass students are pre-selected based on middle school recommendation, reading and math test scores. Students who qualify will be notified by their assigned high school. This program is not open to all incoming 9th grade students. Students will receive up to five elective credits toward high school graduation.

Compass will be held at each of the following sites: Menlo-Atherton, Sequoia, and Woodside.

Schedule:

June 18 - July 12, 2019
Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Please note: students are selected to participate in the Compass program using the following criteria:

In filling the programs spots with students, those who qualify for #1 will be the first to gain entry. Those students who qualify for #2 will be second and #3 will be third until the program is full.
