PSA School Counseling Department

Students and families should stay in regular communication with teachers and check email and social media for continuing updates.

The new school year is well underway and we are approaching Quarter 2!  All students should be focused on submitting missing assignments and working with teachers if extra help is needed.

Seniors, specifically, should be highly focused on college applications.  Many applications will be open past this month, but a good goal is to have all priority applications submitted by October 15.  Students should check with individual colleges for official deadlines to ensure you do not miss any opportunities.
