THE COUNSELORS’ CHAT
Issue 16 | April 9th , 2021
---------------------------- CLASS OF 2021----------------------------
Tip of the week
Don’t have a plan yet and haven’t applied anywhere? Consider applying to a community college. It’s a great option if you want to transfer to a 4 year college or want to learn a trade. But make sure to take the time to complete the application process this month because many of the deadlines for freshman priority programs are in April. Not sure where to start? Please see your counselor ASAP. We want all of our Tillers to have a concrete plan after high school.

Summer School 2021
Do you have a D or an F you need to make up? Are you behind in credits? TUSD is offering 2 forms of summer school: at THS, which starts Session 1-June 1-June 16 and 2nd session is June 17-July 2 and PCHS which goes from July 1-August 10. It is very important that you make up classes that you failed to stay on track for graduation. Students needing summer school should talk with their counselor as there are different options for remediation. Only students who have confirmed spots for summer school will be attending this year. There will be no walk-ins accepted during summer school sessions. PCHS summer school registration packets are available in the counseling office and must be returned by May 14. If you have questions, please contact your counselor.
