The latest from the High School

Counselors will be meeting with students to discuss course requests for next school year within the timeframes listed below:

10th grade: Jan. 15th-21st 9th grade: Jan. 22st-27th 11th grade: Jan. 28th-31st 8th grade: Jan. 13th - Feb 12th

Counselors have been going into the student cafeteria during

lunch periods in efforts to further strengthen the counselor-student relationship. This brand new initiative, known as the Counselor Corner, provides more counselor accessibility to the students. In addition, counselors have also been facilitating various theme-based activities such as Gratefulness, Unplug & Connect with others, and Kindness through Counselor Corner (please see photos at the end of this newsletter).

Counselors met with their 9th grade students in small groups

during the third week of November to discuss their high school experience so far while offering tips on making a successful transition. The meeting also served as an opportunity to re-introduce students to Naviance and to have them begin creating a Resume.

National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School

Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 3–7, 2020, to

focus attention on the unique contribution of professional school counse-

lors and how students are different as a result of what school counselors

do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact

school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success

and plan for a career. Please join me in thanking your child’s school

counselor for all they do!
