Guidance Department

School counselors make a measurable impact in every student’s life, assisting with academic, career and personal/social development. Professional school counselors are trained in both educating and counseling, allowing them to function as a facilitator between parents and the student in matters concerning the student’s goals, abilities and any areas needing improvement. School counselors provide services not only to students in need, but to all students. The beginning of a school year is an excellent opportunity to initiate contact with your child’s school counselor and doing so can ensure your child’s positive school experience. Find out who the counselor is and what his or her experience and background are. By communicating with one another at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year, parents and counselors can have a definite impact a child’s success.

Here are a few helpful tips for successful studying:

Your child should have approximately 10 or 20 minutes (or more for advanced classes) of homework every night in every subject. Completing homework prepares your child for the lesson of the next day.
Stay organized. Mark assignments, tests and project due dates in your agenda book.
You can access your child’s homework and class assignments from the Internet using SIS: Student Information System.
Please make an appointment with your high school counselor if you need to discuss credits.
