A word from your Gator Counselor, Mrs. Stockdell.…
Much will be happening to prepare your student for high school and beyond. One, your student will begin preparing to select courses for high school and two, you and your student will participate in an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) conference.
Very important information was sent to you over the winter break for you to review: high school course selection information and IGP conference information. You and your student should prepare and plan accordingly. This is an exciting time.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
