August 2018: 9th Grade
MDHS Counseling Newsletter
Welcome, Class of 2022!
Hello, 9th grade Monarchs! Welcome to the MD family and our monthly Counseling Newsletter. Check out some of our upcoming events & tips for a successful first semester.
If you haven't visited the counseling center before, we are located upstairs between the 400s and 700s, in the building that looks like a clock tower from the outside. It's right above the library. If you aren't sure who your school counselor is, you can view your counselor assignment on Aeries or find out through our counselor alpha split chart here. If you need to contact any teachers or staff, our MD staff directory is on our website, also linked here.
Wellness @ MD
We have a Wellness Wall right outside of the counseling office that we are working on that you can check out! We will also be adding Wellness Workshops to several counseling events this year including our College Night, Office Hours, and more.
College Night
MD's College Night is Tuesday, October 9th. Mark your calendars! All students and their families are welcome to attend. Workshops begin @ 5PM and the College Fair begins @ 6PM.
Over 100 colleges will be represented! Don't miss this opportunity to explore and get some questions answered.
Practice Testing Day
Your Counselors
Your counselors are available to help and support you. Stop by any time before school, at lunch, during Office Hour, or after school, should you have a question or concern, of if you just want to say hi! You can also email your counselor to schedule an appointment. You can find our emails here.
Get Involved!!!
Join clubs, join an athletic program, or participate in one of Mater Dei's many volunteer opportunities. Colleges are looking for the “well-rounded” individual--someone who not only challenges him/herself academically, but also pursues his/her passions through other activities. Read more about all our clubs on campus here or stop by the Activities Office.
Mater Dei’s Annual Club Fair will be on Wednesday September 12th and Thursday September 13 during both lunches at the Shamrock Plaza.
