Dating violence is more common than you may think, especially among teens and young adults: 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before becoming adults. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors.

Counselors have been meeting with students to discuss course selections offered in the upcoming terms. The purpose of the Individual Student Planning system is to guide all students as they plan, monitor, and manage their own educational, career, and personal-social development. Through the individual student planning system, students can:
- Set challenging educational, career, and personal-social goals that are based on self-knowledge and information about school, the world of work, and their society;
- Make plans for achieving short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals;
- Analyze how their strengths and weaknesses enhance or hinder the achievement of their goals;
- Assess their current progress toward their goals; and
- Make decisions that reflect their plans.
As part of the school counseling program, the individual student planning system includes:
- age-appropriate, objective-based activities;
- relevant, accurate, and unbiased information; and
- coordinated advisement procedures to facilitate appropriate placement decisions by students and their parents. Parent involvement is essential. See 504 / Dyslexia Services
