Intro
Greetings The Center School Families!
I am Mrs. Ikeh, and it is great to be joining your community as your HS Counselor. I will be working on a team of the amazing Center School teachers, principal, administrative secretary, and college & career readiness specialist to support your students this school year.
As you may know, September has been a whirlwind with understaffing and technology complicating scheduling. I appreciate all of the support staff who have helped out and students and families for bearing with us during this time.
I aim to provide monthly updates from the counseling office through this newsletter. Please find my contact info at the end of this newsletter and feel free to reach out as needed. I hope to connect with you all more meaningfully as the beginning of the year bustle settles down.
