Social/Emotional Information
Dear Classical Families:
As a school district, we are committed to creating and sustaining a comprehensive, coordinated effort to improve the overall safety and well-being of our students, educators and administrators.
To do this, we believe this must involve community-wide programs and initiatives involving parents, teachers, administrators, local law enforcement, mental health & wellness professionals and elected officials to take meaningful action to protect our students.
We are happy to announce the district-wide launch of the “Say Something Anonymous Reporting System” (SS-ARS). This program teaches students, teachers, and administrators how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, of individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and Say Something to a trusted adult OR use the anonymous reporting system.

2020/2021 Course Selections are right around the corner!
The Counseling Department will be holding grade-specific course selection presentations for students and parents during the month of February. Additionally, they will be holding Parent Meetings on Friday mornings through the month of February.
At this time, we are asking that parents hold their questions until those meetings since we are busy planning and making important decisions regarding what will be offered and presented next year.
2020/2021 Studio Course Selection Procedures:
The counseling department will be holding grade-level specific course selection information meetings for the 2020/2021 school year starting:

Parents will have until the following Monday to discuss class choices with students and submit their course selection online. There will not be individual meetings; instead, parents are invited to attend these Cohort meetings in Caiman Hall with their students. The Cohort meetings will be from 11:20 am-12 pm on the above dates.
It is critical that students attend Cohort on their assigned days in order to hear important course selection information. Counselors will plan to hold an open student walk-in Q&A's during lunchtime for the entire month of February. This includes the weeks of February 4th - 21st. Meetings will be in Room 107. Please take advantage of this opportunity to get questions answered. Students can come and ask for help with checking their credits, getting advice on their course selections and graduation planning.

Seniors- College Application Time is Now! Please Review the College Application Info Below:
Please note: The Common Application and Naviance are not matched. If you are applying to a university via the Common Application, you will need to invite your school counselor and teachers via email through the Common Application for letters of recommendation and transcripts to be sent that way. You will need to mark in Naviance if you are applying through the Common Application if you have the option to do this. Items cannot be sent unless that is noted. Please be sure to invite your counselor as the Counselor Recommender so that we can upload your transcripts. Do not invite them as the Other Recommender. Please add your counselor as soon as you begin the Common Application. You do not need your application finished or submitted in order to add them. This gives them time to submit their required portion before your deadline.
For step-by-step instructions on how to request transcripts and letters of recommendations through Naviance (for Non Common Application schools), please see the link below:
