1. A first step in deciding what to do after high school is learning about YOURSELF!

What is important to you?
What do you enjoy?
What do you do well?

2. Use the Internet to help you answer these important questions by taking some fun assessments found at the following sites:

How do I see my counselor?

1. You can walk into the guidance office before or after school.

2. You can request an appointment.
Each of your administrators have half-sheets of paper called "Student Counselor Request Forms" in their offices. Fill out the form [legibly] with your name, student number & the date. The forms should then be placed in your counselor's mailbox either in your house administrator's office, or in the main office.

(House administrator offices are at the end of the corresponding mods, i.e. Discovery Community admin office is located at the end of Mod 4, aka Discovery's mod. There is a box marked "guidance" just inside the door, to the left. Ask Ms. Combs for help if you are having trouble.)

LEARNING RECOVERY

RECOVER THAT GRADE!!!

Talk to your teacher(s) about learning recovery if you earned a D or F on your quarterly report card. You will need to complete the work your teacher assigns to you in Compass Odyssey (if that class is offered on Compass Odyssey) or complete alternative assignments your teacher gives you, and you could bring your grade up to a C (2.0 GPA worthy!).
