Dear Parents and Students:

As we start to close out the calendar year, please make sure that you continue to

check the guidance department’s website for up to date activities that will help

promote your student’s education. In the upcoming months, we will be working

with seniors on college applications and financial aid. For underclassmen

there are opportunities for governor’s school and information about Monroe

Technology center. PSAT results will be returned before the winter break and

most juniors should consider planning on taking the SAT in the spring. Finally,

interim reports will be issued on December 14th and 15th. Please continue to

contact the guidance department with questions or concerns.

The mission of the Loudoun County High School Counseling Department is to

support and assist all students in reaching their academic potential and to pro-

mote excellence through education, collaboration, and empowerment.

Family Connection For those of you unfamiliar with this program, it is a web-

based service designed for educational planning, which we

use extensively with students beginning in the ninth grade. It

is a comprehensive website that you and your child can use

to help in making decisions about courses, colleges, and

careers. It is linked with Counselors’ Office, a service that

we use to track and analyze data about college and career

plans. It also allows us to share information with you and

your student about up-coming college rep. visits and events,

local scholarship opportunities, and other web resources for

college and career information. In addition, the site includes

a link that can be used to send us an e-mail message. Those

who have logged on previously and need assistance, or who

wish to register with the site for the first time, should contact

Mr. West, our Career Center Representative, on 571-252-

2012 or email [email protected]. Beginning this

month, counselors will hold evening workshops for parents

to introduce them to this very important program. Please

visit the LCHS Guidance website for more information.

GRADING SCALE

LCHS Guidance department will be hosting a

Financial Aid Workshop on Wednesday,

December 14 2011, 7:00pm. Eric Stegner

is the Student Services Coordinator at Ap-

ple Federal Credit Union and will present

valuable information on the financial aid

application process, types and sources of

financial aid, questions and answers about

special circumstances, and free re-

sources. This workshop is open to all

high school students and parents.

During the last week of school in De-

cember students will receive their

PSAT test booklets and results. The

Score Report Plus will give the stu-

dents information on each individual

test item, specific suggestions for im-

proving their skills, and next steps to

take to prepare for the SATs and col-

lege. English and math teachers will

review the test results with students

and help with specific questions. An

explanation of how to interpret the

test scores will also be distributed to

9th and 10th grade students in a sepa-

rate flyer. Parents are encouraged to

go over the Score Report with their

child and to use the two excellent re-

sources provided by College Board.

Please check out My College Quick-

start, available at www.collegeboard.

com/psatextra and MyRoad a t

have any questions, please give the

counselor a call.

A winner will be randomly drawn from all the entries having correct answers. The prize is a $10 gift certificate for the School Store.

design by the end of the novel, is supposedly modeled on Frank Lloyd Wright. What is the novel’s title?

CLASSES AT LCHSCLASSES AT LCHSCLASSES AT LCHSCLASSES AT LCHS

Your son or daughter will be asked to cast a vote – to elect something of far

greater consequence than Homecoming Queen or even president of the Student

Government Association. Your child will be selecting “elective” courses, which

is more important than it ever was with the increased global competition and our

present economy.

The fact is most high school students see this exercise as “filling in the blanks.”

They choose “what my friends are taking,” “whatever looks easy,” or “whatever

fits my schedule.” These are typical teenage responses.

However, time is too precious, youth too short, and life is too competitive to miss

the big benefits of Business and Information Technology courses if your student

has an interest in pursuing a college degree related to courses taught in high

school. Courses offerings range from Accounting; Advanced Accounting; Busi-

ness Law; Business Management; Com-

puter Information Systems; Advanced

Computer Infor- mation Systems; and

Design, Multime- dia, and Web Tech-

nologies, which can give your student

the opportunity to explore career fields,

earn certifica- tions, earn college cred-

its, and gain an advantage over other students who have not had the opportu-

nity to take these classes and can help pave a student’s path to success.

If you or your son or daughter is interested in a Business and IT Career Path

Course Guide to assist with course selection based on the career path your

child plans to take in college, please feel free to e-mail me at

[email protected]. In addition, visit my Web Page for course

information or I would be genuinely delighted to talk to you at any time

about how these courses could fit into your child’s academic plans and

can be reached at Loudoun County High School at (571) 252-2000.

Among all the votes your son or daughter will cast in life, the vote for how

to use his or her time in preparation for the next educational level may be

the most important of all.

Therefore, I look forward to talking with you soon, so don’t delay as class

space is limited and many students who were too late in registering last

year were not allowed in the classes this year.

AVID Students and Junior Class Participate in LCHS Service

Week Students in AVID, a college

readiness elective course, and the Jun-

ior Class collected 346 coats/vest, 65

scarves, 50 hats, and 60 pairs of

gloves for needy families in Leesburg

during the months of October and No-

vember. Senior AVID student Mason

Tilghman commented, “It’s great to

know

that a little effort on our part is

going to make a big difference to

someone in need.” The AVID 4 stu-

dents have already begun their next

service project with the senior citizens

at Meadow Glen Assisted Living Resi-

dence.
