Senior Meetings

Your Senior Meeting

Senior Meetings will be held during the months of September and October  Your assigned school counselor (Ms. Ingram:  A-Z or Mrs. Clark:  K-Z) will schedule your meeting and send you a meeting invitation via email.  Please accept the invitation.  

Each senior is REQUIRED to meet with their assigned counselor so she knows what your post-secondary plan is and can support you, accordingly. 

Step 1:  Once you receive your meeting invitation, acknowledge it by accepting it.  

• If there is a schedule conflict at your meeting time (for example, you have a test or presentation), please email your assignment school counselor so that she can reschedule your meeting to a later date/time.

• Please notify your teacher of your senior meeting.  Forward the meeting confirmation to your teacher, if needed. 

Step 2:  Show up for your appointment on time.  

• You should report to your assigned school counselor’s office in the College and Career Center for your meeting.

• If you forget or miss your scheduled appointment, you will have to email your school counselor to re-schedule your meeting for a later date/time.   

• Appointments are designed for the student and counselor with a specific agenda.  Should parents like to request a separate meeting, we will schedule one once all senior meetings have been conducted.

Step 3:  The following should be completed prior to meeting with your counselor:

• Give consideration to your post-secondary plan:  College (4-year or 2-year), Military, Work, etc.; and research the options.

• Complete the Senior Meeting Questionnaire.

• All colleges you are applying to should be listed in Naviance under your “Colleges I am Applying To” section.  Click here to reference The College Application Process Reference Guide,  if you need a reminder regarding how to add colleges to your list. 

• If you are using Common Application to apply to colleges, be sure to match your Common Application account to Naviance. Click here to reference the Common App Account Matching Quick Guide.

• You should have the majority of the tasks on the Senior Quick Links sheet completed prior to your meeting.

Your assigned Hawthorne School Counselor looks forward to meeting with you to discuss your status for graduation and your postsecondary plans.
