IGPs
It's that time of year again! IGPs or Individual Graduation Plans must be completed with every student and parent, every school year. Senior and Junior IGP meetings must be completed during semester 1. Please make sure you contact the counseling department as soon as possible to schedule your meeting!
What's going on in Counseling this month?
--> The end of the school year is approaching quickly, and all students should be working hard to submit missing assignments and speaking with teachers to set up time to receive extra help if needed.
For Seniors, there are only THREE more weeks of school. Seniors' last official week of school will be May 20-24. This is the last chance to make any academic improvements to work towards improving GPAs and class ranks for colleges and scholarships. This is also the last chance to catch up on any work to ensure you earn all credits for graduation. Failure to pass a course required for graduation will mean you are not able to walk with the rest of your class, and you will have to attend Summer School in order to try and graduate.
All students should be checking emails and communicating regularly with school staff to make sure this semester is successful!
