Counseling Corner:
Students, if you signed up to take an online class for next school year, don't forget that you need to meet with your counselor to complete online paperwork by Friday, May 17th. If we do not have your online paperwork in by that day, you may be scheduled with an in-person class. You can either schedule an appointment with your counselor or stop by the Counseling Office to pick up an online form.
Summer rebound is NOW open for registration. Registration deadline is June 14th. If you have any questions, please see your counselor.
SENIORS: If you are attempting to earn credit from outside sources, including YVC volunteer hours and purchased online classes, you must have these completed and/or all paperwork turned in by May 17th!
