We love our COUNSELING DEPARTMENT!!!
Dear Warrior Families:
Happy Monday and Happy February! We made it through one of the longest winter months of the year and are getting closer and closer to spring. Our students, athletes, and performers continue to work hard and compete in a variety of ways. I had the chance to meet with 60 of our students this week for the first ever Principal's Council meeting. I was able to meet the selected advisory representatives as well as club and sport representatives, and we had a chance to look at some of our school data so that our students could provide feedback and make suggestions about several important issues such as tardies, restroom protocols, and student engagement. Our students are so thoughtful, dedicated, and creative, and I am looking forward to our next meeting on February 19th during advisory.
Parent-teacher conferences will be held this Wednesday from 3:30-7:30, so please reach out to your students' teachers to have conversations about your students' progress. Teachers are trying to set schedules to incorporate all needs of parents, so some may choose to attend in person, some may prefer a Google Meet, and some may prefer a telephone call. At 6:30 PM, there will be a Parent Accountability meeting in the cafeteria as well as a brief meeting for our newly forming Academic Booster Club. All parents are welcome to attend!!
This week is COUNSELING APPRECIATION WEEK!!! We are so fortunate at Central to have an amazing counseling team. We have 5 school counselors who work hard every day to work with students on ICAP (Individualized Career & Academic Plan), Social Emotional Learning, and master scheduling. Our awesome and dedicated counselors are Rebekah Giles, Erin Nutt, Erin Turner, Lauren Ramirez, and Becca Greene. They each have a caseload of students, grades 9-12, so please remind your student that if they have questions or concerns about anything, to reach out to their counselors who are always happy to help. We also have an Upward Bound counselor and a CCA counselor who work in conjunction with our CHS students and with Colorado Mesa University. Our Upward Bound counselor, Lissie Winslow, is there to help students who are first generation college students, and she provides a variety of supports for students throughout their time at Central High School. Our CCA counselor, Kline Donley, provides a variety of opportunities for our students to visit college campuses, explore careers, and he supports our students all along the journey of applying to colleges and taking CMU Tech courses. This team of 7 is an incredible help to students, parents, and staff at Central, and we want to celebrate their commitment and compassion for all in our CHS community. THANK YOU, COUNSELORS!!!
Thank you for your continued support of Central High School and please know how important your involvement is to the success of your learners. On behalf of the staff at Central, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work with your students every day, and we take our responsibility to teach and support them very seriously. We love our WARRIORS!! Have a wonderful week!
Warm Regards,
Tracy
