COUNSELOR’S CORNER

 

All students have now completed their class schedules for next year.  They were asked to bring them home to get them signed by a parent.  If you haven't seen it, please be sure to ask them for it.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Also, all students in grades 8-12 have completed their 6-year plans.  We look at the current schedule and then plan what they think they might want to take between now and their senior year along with what they might want to do the first 2 years after HS graduation.  Those plans can be viewed at  www.missouriconnections.org.  Each student has their own log in information.  These plans are evaluated every year during this time when we do scheduling.

 

Have a restful summer and I'll see you next year!
