AMS Counselor Connection
October 2019
Welcome
You’ll find helpful information, upcoming dates, and more from our department.
October Updates
We are well into the school year, with the 1st Quarter coming to a close this month. We will recognize students who earn a grade point average (gpa) of 3.0 or higher for their academic success during our 1st Quarter Honor Roll assembly (November 6). These are students who've earned at least a B average and have no D or F grades on their report card.
We strongly encourage you contact your child's school counselor to schedule a parent/teacher conference if your child has received any D or F grade this quarter.
Be sure to check Pinnacle to view your child's schedule, grades & attendance, communicate with their teachers, and view any missing or upcoming assignments.
October is College & Career month. We encourage you to log onto Naviance together with your child to explore various college programs and career options. Naviance is a comprehensive college and career readiness solution that helps students align their strengths and interests to postsecondary goals, improving student outcomes and connecting learning to life.
*Pinnacle and Naviance are both accessed through Clever. If you're unsure of how to access Clever, view the "how-to" guide below.
