The Year at a Glance
While a School Counselor’s day-to-day tasks can be unpredictable and are ever-changing, there are certain School Counselor happenings that students and families can count on each year. Take a look at our yearly calendar below. The items in regular font take a good amount of counselor time, but will not be direct interactions with students. The items in bold are events and presentations that students can expect to see us face-to-face.
Fall Senior Meetings
