Personalized Counseling
We are beyond excited to be a part of this individualized approach to plan our student’s pathway in Humble ISD. Our hope is to help guide our students now and their future after Humble ISD.
We will meet individually with child twice this year. Our meetings will focus on getting to know your child and learning about their academic and personal goals. These meetings will also help assist your child plan for life beyond high school and learn about what it means to be college and career ready.
After the meeting you will receive an email that will notify you that this meeting has taken place. We encourage you to continue the conversation with them at home about their meeting. This can start a wonderful dialogue about what their goals are for this year, what they are finding interests in, and what colleges and careers they are thinking about.
Additionally, our counseling program at Woodcreek Middle School serves your child through guidance lessons and small group counseling support. We also want to reach our parents with parent nights throughout the year. We will post send information about our parent nights on our weekly school newsletter, twitter, emails, and counseling quarterly newsletters.
Guidance Activities - Naviance
Naviance is a program that we use throughout the year in our guidance lessons and for course selection. It has a large amount of information for students about colleges and careers. We highly encourage parents to visit the application on your child's MyHumble account to explore the activities we do throughout the years. We will provide updates with various tasks completed throughout the year if you would like to take some time to explore in your home.
