Counselor’s Corner
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we have worked to fulfill the academic needs of students through the scheduling process. As students and teachers are continuing to become fully acclimated to course requirements and course pacing, the window for enrichment class schedule changes will close on Tuesday, August 18. This will give teachers the opportunity to fully engage students in the academic standards for the remainder of this school year.
