A high school counselor’s primary job is to help students (and parents!) navigate through high school! Personal and Social Development Post-Secondary Planning Academic Advising

Schedules Schedules distributed tomorrow are subject to change (rare) Students will receive an “official” schedule in homeroom on Monday (white paper)  Will also include their locker assignment and combination

First Week Homeroom Sign-Up Sheet You are signed up for a class you already passed You are signed up for the same class more than once You are signed up for two classes at the same time You are signed up for a class you believe you are missing the prerequisite for You believe you are missing a core class

Requests for Schedule Changes We are unable to consider any other schedule change requests until the second week of school Two types of schedule changes:  Elective Changes  Academic Level Changes

Elective Changes Students who do receive their first choice in electives are not be permitted to change their electives Students who do not receive their first choice in electives may be permitted to make schedule changes

Academic Level Changes Level changes will be considered on a case- by-case basis Many factors are considered:  Student input  Parent input  Counselor input  Overall course load  Teacher feedback  Availability of alternate courses  Post-secondary plans  Individual strengths & weaknesses

Academic Level Changes Level changes are for students who are truly in a class that is too difficult for them Level changes often create schedule conflicts. Students who change levels may have to give up an elective Level changes are often not possible depending on class availability

How students can schedule a meeting with a school counselor During the first week of school, students can sign-up to see a counselor in homeroom for a qualifying reason After the first week, students sign-up to see a counselor by filling out a request form before or after school, or between classes For emergency situations, students should ask any adult for a hall pass to the counseling department
