A Zoom link will be generated for each meeting - this is for parent/guardian use only. (Students will need to select "ADD GUESTS" when booking their appointment in order for the Zoom link to be emailed to the parent.) Again, students will meet in the counseling office.
Students should review their course selections (Course Plan in Naviance) with parents/guardians prior to meeting with their counselor and bring any questions to the conference.
Students needing to make updates to course selections will utilize the Google form available in mid-February. All changes are due by the FINAL deadline of March 12, 4p.
Course selections are a year-long commitment. There will not be changes to elective courses past the final change request deadline in March. NO SEMESTER CHANGE REQUESTS.
