Counselor Communique'

The Harvey Guidance Department is looking forward to an exciting year where we help all Harvey students on their path to becoming College and/or Career Ready. Our goal this year is to keep our families as well informed as possible by sending out regular editions of our Counselor Communique'. The purpose of the Communique' is to make sure you are aware of what is happening in our office, and to make sure you are aware of upcoming events at Harvey.

Jostens will be here to introduce information on ordering Caps & Gowns for Graduation, as well as invitations, class rings, letterman jackets & other Class of 2024 spirit gear. Students are encouraged to order early. Prices for the cap & gowns increase as the year progresses.

We will be meeting with all seniors for two days (one period each day out of English class) to cover the following information:

• Review graduation requirements and determine where students currently stand.
• Review Graduation Seals, how many each student has and what options are still available for them.
• Confirm all Seniors are aware of the Harvey Guidance Google Site and all of the resources available to them within that site.
• Confirm all Seniors are on the Class of 2024 Google Classroom.
• Confirm all Seniors are on SchooLinks where they can begin creating their resumes, researching and highlighting careers and colleges in which they are interested & request transcripts for college applications.
• Encourage all students that are planning to attend college to join The Common App (students complete one application for over 700 different colleges and universities).
• Meet our LEAF advisor, Mrs. Theresa Heavlin, who will help students navigate the new financial aid process.
• Make sure every Senior is aware of our Scholarship Page so everyone knows where to find those opportunities.

We will be hosting our 7th Annual College Fair. We currently have over 50 colleges and universities, as well as military representatives, that have confirmed to be in attendance that day. It is an AMAZING opportunity for our students to showcase themselves to the admissions representatives. We encourage all students, whether they plan to attend college or not to join us. Students not planning to attend college can use this opportunity to practice the soft skills needed to represent themselves well in job interviews.

Friday night is the Homecoming Game, Parade and Crowning at Rec Park

Saturday night is the Homecoming Dance at Harvey High School. This year's theme is Out of This World.

Counselors will take this opportunity to meet with each Senior individually to confirm each student is on track for what their plans are after graduation.
