• Counselors met with all ninth and tenth graders to review/update course requests for next year. Students have until June 1st to make changes to their requests.

• All students in the high school have access to Scoir, an online college and career tool. Your student is able to use Scoir from any computer with internet access once their account is activated. Most students activated their accounts this fall. However, if your child does not have an account and would like one, please have them contact their school counselor. Scoir contains helpful information for all students and will be used throughout high school to assist students with their post-graduation planning.

• OPHS is a test center for the October ACT, November SAT, May SAT, and June ACT. Please visit the ACT and SAT websites for details and registration information.

As a follow-up, we will be meeting individually with each student to go over course selections for their senior year and to discuss their specific post-high school plans in more detail. At that meeting, they will be shown a copy of their transcript listing the courses taken, final grades, and credits from grades 9 through 10.
