• You may notice your student has been assigned to Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior Seminar courses. Students will receive weekly updates from the counseling office on their seminar page through Schoology and will be supported by completing various tasks pertaining to academic, personal/social, and post-secondary planning throughout the school year. The counselor assigned to your student is the teacher of this course. This class does not meet in-person or receive a grade.

Counselors will be visiting senior English classrooms on 9/1 & 9/2 to discuss next steps in post-secondary planning. This will include how to request a transcript, letters of recommendation, and the college application process. Please delay requests for official transcripts and individual counseling meetings regarding college applications until 9/8. We will also discuss workforce and military opportunities. Grandview counselors will be hosting the College Information Workshop on Monday, August 31st @ 6:00pm. Please save the date and plan to join us for a great evening! Targeted for grades 11 and 12 but open to students/parents in all grades.
