Freshmen & Sophomores and Parents:

Freshmen and Sophomores can get connected to other students in the IB program through the STARS mentoring program. This is a great way to foster relationships amongst our students and give them someone to count on. Please read all about it below. Students should take advantage of being involved in STARS. Many juniors and seniors have signed up to be mentors and are anxiously waiting to have a "little brother or little sister", and they are excited for the opportunity to work with underclassmen.

What: STARS is a peer mentoring program to help underclass students connect with other students to develop relationships, in addition to getting tips and strategies about how to be successful in IB.

Goal: Research indicates that students who are more connected to their high school (peers, teachers, activities), are more successful and report higher rates of satisfaction.

Upperclassmen will be allocated to be mentors. For the most part, juniors will mentor freshmen and seniors will mentor sophomores.

Sincerely,
