FEBRUARY
National School Counselors Week February 1 - 5, please let your counselor know she is appreciated :)
Information about Advanced Placement Exams will go out to students this month. Please ask your AP student to share this information with you. IACP meetings finish up this month and course contract advising begins. January, February and March are packed with student advising! We want to encourage parents to join us at one of our parent advising sessions too! Each year we receive hundreds of requests for individual parent meetings for course selection advise. With a counselor/student ratio of approx. 1/500, it is impossible to meet with each family individually. Course selection can be both exciting and stressful. You will be happy to know that most concerns are addressed at our info sessions and it is helpful to hear what other parents are asking. We think you will benefit greatly by attending and we look forward to seeing you there!
