Guidance Tackles 1^ST Quarter

• Senior IGPs got started….and almost finished.

• We started posting scholarships in the Senior Google Classroom Page. We will continue posting scholarships there as they come in. Seniors need to check in on the Google Classroom page regularly.

• Seniors participated in College Application Day on October 9, 2020.

• Worked with students participating in dual enrollment and early graduation opportunities.

• We welcomed two new School Counselors in the office. They are thriving in the Seahawk Nation and jumping at the opportunity to meet their students: Mrs. Dopson works with students whose last names start with the letters R-Z and Mrs. DiTroia works with students whose last names star with the letters A-E.

• We debuted Parchment and SCOIR for the first time. Parchment is an electronic platform that allows students to request letters of recommendation and transcript be sent to colleges. SCOIR is a software program that assists students in determining career interests as well as complete college research.

• FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid opened on October 1, 2020. This allows students to request financial assistance from our federal government to pay for college.

• We welcomed 144 new students to Hilton Head Island High School!

What's Happening IN 2^ND Quarter?

• Junior IGPs will be starting in November. Be on the lookout for email and snail mail invitations!
• November is Career Development Awareness Month. Emails will go out with videos about different careers that students can pursue while attending local colleges.
• As a way to adapt to our new times, there is a google form where you can sign up to ask your School Counselor about career, college or academics.
• Watch for an announcement about a college and scholarship workshop to assist parents and students of multicultural origins (i.e. DACA, Non-Residents, Political Asylum) who are wondering how to find resources to prepare for life after high school graduation.
