From the Sophomore Counselor-Happy Halloween!

Greetings Sophomores and parental units,
 
It was great to see almost all of our sophomores last week for counseling presentations. As I told the students, I will be checking in with a few of them over the next few weeks but setting up one-on-one meetings in the spring with parents invited to attend as we plan for the second half of high school More info to come later.
 
Here's what else is happening for sophomores:
Friday Nov. 1. No School. I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween & enjoy the extra treat of getting to sleep in the next day!
 
Friday Nov 8. Grading Period 2 Ends. Please keep checking Schoology and stay in contact with your teachers regarding any make up assignments that need to be completed. Teachers are the first point of contact, they know what you can still make up and how to best prioritize your assignments. Don't forget if you want to remain eligible for sports and drama productions, students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 and have no F's. 
 
We spent some time doing some career surveys last week and identifying each student's particular strengths and interests. Students had some interesting results, and it was fun to talk with them about possible majors and careers down the road. Parents, feel free to ask your student about their results and what they thought about it. We'll dig into this deeper when we meet.
 
Happy Halloween,
Stay safe,
