Department Happenings

Reminders for Seniors

Senior Checkout Sessions will take place June 1st–5th, with seniors reporting to the Career Counseling Center with their assigned PE class. Prior to June 1st, students with outstanding balances will receive emails detailing pending items or fees.

During checkout, seniors must complete their Naviance requirement, confirm their FAFSA graduation requirement is fulfilled, and clear any outstanding fines (including books, Maschios, and school IDs). Seniors will not receive their Caps & Gowns until all requirements are met and fees are paid in full. 

Senior Awards

Every year, the Department of School Counseling coordinates the Senior Local Scholarship and Awards
Program at the high school. Last year, over 134 seniors received thousands of dollars in awards and
grants, which are sponsored by various school and community organizations, local industries and
business groups.

This year's senior awards will take place on June 10th at 6 pm. 

School Counseling Office

School counselors will continue to meet with students regarding attendance and provide support where needed. We will also be meeting with students who experienced challenges during Marking Period 3 to help them develop a plan for a strong finish to the school year.


Juniors have been provided with brag sheets through their counselors’ Google Classrooms. Students are encouraged to complete these forms as they are an important component of the college application process. 


Additionally, juniors are encouraged to begin thinking about letters of recommendation and should consider reaching out to two teachers before the end of the school year.  Please reach out to teachers in person. 

 

School Counseling Groups During Unit Lunch

The School Counseling Department has been offering counseling groups throughout the school year during unit lunch. These groups offer a supportive environment for students to connect with peers, develop skills, and set or work toward personal goals. Students may join at any time; those interested should contact their school counselor directly.

Currently Running Groups:

  • Art Unlocked
  • Boys Group
  • Cancer Support
  • Unplug & Kick It Old School
  • The Calm Collective
  • Girls Connection Circle

Course Selection and Assessments

End of Year Grading Procedures

Summative Assessment grades will be part of Quarter 4 and will be equivalent to a proportional test or project grade.

Quarter 4 will not have a Basement Grade of 50. Students will get the actual grade that they earn in Q4 of a full-year course.  This does not apply to semester courses.

Each Quarter grade is worth 25% to tally the final (F1) course grade.

Option II

If your child would like to request Alternate PE, Service Learning, or Credit Acceleration, they should plan to meet with their school counselor to discuss their interest. If viable to pursue, a link to the Option II form will be shared. . 

Option II Deadlines:

  • Acceleration Credit - June 3, 2026
  • Alternate PE - Applications must be submitted within the first calendar week of the applicable marking period
