~Counselor's Corner~

Welcome Back! We hope you had a great break! Here’s to a new semester and the opportunity to be amazing. Remember that grades start fresh and keeping those grades up means doing as well as you can do right away. Don’t wait and don’t start missing assignments! Make sure to see your counselor if you need help getting started strong!

10th Grade Parents and Students: We will begin scheduling talks with sophomores the week of January 20th. This is an exciting scheduling time because 11th grade is the start of having more room in schedules to take electives, CTE pathway courses, AP classes, etc. We look forward to meeting with all of our 10th graders!

Seniors: Reminder that you need to complete 20 hours of community service in order to graduate! Don’t let the year get away from you and then panic at the end. Please see your counselor if you need help with community service and also check out our website for more information about where and how to complete community service. Please also remember that this newsletter has community service opportunities EVERY WEEK!
