Counseling Department News
STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND STAFF...
The counselors will continue to meet with our rising 5th grade, 6th grade, and 7th grade students to discuss their elective choices for the upcoming school year. Students in the 8th grade will continue to meet with Ms. Adams (8th grade Counselor) to complete their Personal Graduation Plan (PGP) and Endorsement for their 9th grade year.
All PARENTS of 8TH GRADE STUDENTS will need to attend an Advisement Conference with Ms. Adams to discuss their child's PGP (Personal Graduation Plan) and sign their Endorsement. Please contact Ms. Adams to schedule an appointment at 210-228-1235 or 210-646-1499.
We are encouraging all our students to continue to come to school daily, attend all their classes, complete all their assignments, follow all school rules (including safety protocols), and to make an effort to be KIND to one another.
The counselors at Poe are here to serve you and to make sure you have a safe and successful learning experience. Our contact information is listed below. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
