National School Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week 2017 has been celebrated nationwide during the first full week in February. The week focuses public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems.
This year's national theme is School Counseling: Helping Students Realize Their Potential.
National School Counseling Week, sponsored by American School Counselor Association, highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
The notion of guidance has evolved tremendously in the past decade to include social-emotional learning. Please join me in thanking our hard-working guidance staff at Joseph Case High School.
Case High celebrates National Girls and Women in Sports Day
Congratulations to Hayley Armburg and Kylie Lecomte who represented Joseph Case High School at the National Girls and Women in Sports Day held at Boston's Faneuil Hall. Both juniors represented all female athletes from our high school.
Under the sponsorship of Case volleyball and softball coach Michaela Goncalves, the Case students were able to be a part of the 31st anniversary of this national observance that celebrates the extraordinary achievements of women and girls in sports.
BCC's Enrollment-Palooza
Bristol Community College’s Office of Admission’s in conjunction with the Financial Aid Office, the Testing Center, and the Office of Academic Advising will be at Joseph Case High School on Tuesday, February 14 offering an Enrollment Palooza to seniors who plan on attending Bristol Community College.
Enrollment Palooza combines the initial stages of a student’s college enrollment into a one day opportunity at Joseph Case High School.
Benefits of attending the Enrollment Palooza are numerous. Besides the support of your
school's guidance department, participating students will:
- Gain Admission to their program of choice*
- Schedule their placement testing appointment
- Meet with an Academic Advisor to review their selected program of interest
- Complete their FAFSA and/or receive information about financial aid
- Have the opportunity to ask questions of staff professionals
- Learn about the transfer programs offered
Register for an Enrollment Palooza appointment in the Guidance Office. See your Guidance Counselor for more information.
** Please note that BCC’s selective admission majors (Health Science programs and Culinary Arts) are not included in this activity. Students will be appropriately advised of additional requirements needed to pursue these programs.
And finally: maximizing resource utilization...
We are so lucky to have the digital capacity and equipment to offer opportunities like this. Coming together as a community to celebrate only helps to strengthen school culture.
By the way, not one piece of trash was left in the auditorium after more than 90 minutes of student dining and viewing. Now THAT's #casepride.
