Believe it or not, we are preparing for next school year! Counselors are presenting information about programs, classes and options for next school year. This is a very exciting time to see what's ahead! Registration information is provided to help you and your child discuss courses, electives and learn about the various programs our district offers. Please make sure to start with the course catalog (below) to review information and feel free to reach out to your child's counselor if you have any questions. We are happy to help you! The Stinson Counseling Office number is 210-397-3632.

Students in the Gifted & Talented Program will be enrolled in "Innovative Thinkers" next year! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your child's counselor or our GT teacher, Ms. Tanya Torres.

Stinson Counselors are visiting with students in December and January to discuss classes for next year. We will enroll all students for next year's classes in January and February. Parents, a copy of next year's classes will be emailed in February for you to review and make any changes. Parent presentations will also take place in January. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Please make sure to look at the Brandeis Counseling website!

There is a lot of great information under the Academic Resources and Individual Planning tabs to help you learn more about courses, programs, resources and important dates. Please take time to familiarize yourself with this extremely useful tool as your transition to high school world!
