Counselor's Corner
Message From Our Counselors
"Hello Students and Families! The Counselors are excited to see so many students having a successful beginning of the school year. Please remember that we are here to support our students academically and socially/emotionally. Here are a few things to keep in mind as we move beyond the first few weeks of school:
- Schedule changes: Counselors will still honor any schedule change requests that were made before the original cutoff date (as best as possible regarding classroom space). We are not able to do the majority of schedule changes as we still don't have access to Skyward. We appreciate your patience!
- Hope Squad: Hope Squad will kick off the week of September 6th! More information will be given during your advisory period. In the meantime, feel free to check out the Hope Squad Parent Newsletter about goal-setting.

We will be hosting a Jobe Women's Fitness Night on Wednesday, September 28th, from 5:00-6:00 pm in the gym with a professional Zumba instructor! The entrance will be at the back of the school (signs will be posted). Mark your calendars now!
