NPHS Weekly Counseling Update

Reminder that Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for October 29th and 30th! Please do not hesitate to make an appointment with your student's teacher if you have any questions or concerns about their progress!!! Also, if you would like a counselor to be a part of the conference, please reach out to your student's counselor and we would be happy to attend.

North Point will be offering the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This assessment is a heavily researched and well-respected aptitude test developed by the Department of Defense. It measures a young adult's strengths and potential for success in military training. The test will be administered by representatives from the military. A student does not necessarily need to be interested in going into the military to take this test and could gain good knowledge about their interests and aptitudes for helping develop their future plans after high school.

The ASVAB testing will take place at North Point on December 9, 2024 beginning at 7:20 a.m. If you would like to take part in this assessment, please complete this form. If you have any questions, please stop by the Student Center.

Please read the AP Letter for further information about upcoming exams!!
