AMES Portfolio
As part of your graduation requirements you have the opportunity to create a grade level portfolio. Your portfolio is your opportunity to “show your stuff” and create a document that represents your history as a high school learner. Forget the infamous school “permanent record” - your portfolio is a real permanent record that allows YOU to tell your story. Every grade will create a portfolio online. If you have taken Computer Technology at AMES, you should already have a Weebly account set up for your portfolio. You are also welcome to use another platform. If you need help setting up your portfolio, please see instructions below:
