Sophomore 101
This is a reminder of our Sophomore 101 IGP Family Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, February 7th at 6:30pm in the RBHS PAC. We will be going over important dates, graduation requirements, college admissions requirements, scholarships to prepare for, final reminders on the course selection process, and PSAT scores for those who took in the fall. This meeting will cover information all sophomores and their parents should know going into their IGP (Individual Graduation Plan) meetings which will start February 13th.
We encourage students and parents to attend together so everyone can hear the same information at the same time.
If you will be attending and require a language interpreter, contact the Counseling & Advisement Office as soon as possible so we can make arrangements.
We look forward to seeing you Tuesday, February 7th at 6:30pm.

Aaron Viazanko wins Second Place!
We have waited about 6 months to see who won the SC Young Film Makers Project. We had four of our students get in the top 10 and Aaron Viazanko was selected last spring as a top 5 finisher in the Charleston Film Festival Young Filmmakers project.
This week he found out he received 2nd place! Very excited for our Media Technology students! Aaron earned $300 with his 2nd place finish.
New Counseling and Advisement Assignments for Students
New Counselors for Students
Now that we’ve made it through the first ten days of school, and the majority of our students have learned the best routes to their classes and the most productive ILT areas, we want to communicate a transition in Counseling and Advisement. Since everything has settled down and the schedule change timeframe has ended, we are excited to release the counselor assignments for this school year.
The Counseling & Advisement team is working towards a more intentionally focused program to provide students with the best support. Rather than counselors having students in all grade levels (9-12), we are realigning to be able to more appropriately serve students’ transitional needs at the different levels. This realignment will also more closely mirror our CREW design allowing students to stay with their school counselor their 9th and 10th grade years and then have another counselor their 11th and 12th grade years.
Effective Monday, August 29th, counseling assignments will be as follows:
Traveling students (all students who attend LTC or other high schools)
o Marci Newman (Director) mnewman2@lexington1.net
Students in their 1st or 2nd year of high school (typically 9th & 10th graders)
o Last names A-Go Cindy Bartolec cbartolec@lexington1.net
o Last names Gr-Par C. Bryan Vacchio cvacchio@lexington1.net
o Last names Pat-Z Stacy Clarke sclarke@lexington1.net
Students in their 3rd and 4th (or greater) year of high school (typically 11th & 12th graders)
o Last names A-Ham Mandy Wilson aswilson2@lexington1.net
o Last names Han-O Crystal Wingate cwingate@lexington1.net
o Last names P-Z Joe Ben Watson jbwatson@lexington1.net
Career Specialist for all students
o Shenita Chapman schapman@lexington1.net
