ACADEMIC GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING

Counselors are available by appointment to assist students with an academic concern. In addition, several specific services are provided to assist in the academic area:

1. Counselors meet with freshmen in classroom guidance sessions during the second semester to help each complete a tentative four year plan of study. A sample plan is in the Choice Book, issued last spring.

2. Counselors present several classroom guidance sessions regarding academic programs, diploma options, PSAT and SAT/ACT, colleges, scholarships, military, technical schools, job preparation, etc.

3. In fall semester, each senior will complete a copy of this form. A Senior Application for Graduation, which outlines remaining graduation requirements, will be completed.  A copy is mailed to the parents in the first week in December.

4. Counselors meet with students by referral from parent and/or teachers regarding academic difficulties. Several options are available to assist students in this area:

   • Peer tutoring program

   • Parent/student/teacher conferences

   • SST Committee meetings to identify specific student needs

   • CARE Team referrals

   • Counseling

5. Weekly Progress Reports are available.

   • Policy regarding parents request for weekly reports:

   • When parents request a weekly report for their child, teachers comply with one of two options:

   1. Require that the student give the teacher a form to be completed or a written request for a copy of the computerized grade report on Thursday. Teacher then gives the student the report in class on Friday.

   2. If parents have email, they may send each teacher a request each Thursday so that the teacher can reply to the request with a summary of weekly progress on Thursday or Friday. A student should give the report to his/her teacher on Thursday and collect the report on Friday. It is the responsibility of the student to use these.
