UNIVERSITY GUIDANCE UPDATE

The Class of 2017 will be hearing from many universities in the upcoming week. There will be tears of joy and tears of sadness. Please send any students to counselors if you feel they need support. It is best to remind them to keep phones off and tabs focused on learning during class as not to be tempted to read emails. Thank you for all of your support. We will share the acceptance list with the faculty by the end of March when most North American, UK and European decisions are rendered.

We have actively started our second round of 1on1 meetings with the Class of 2018. They have a survey to fill in on Naviance before spring break. Naviance student website: connection.naviance.com/saigon A gentle reminder during 11th grade advisory is most appreciated.

ADVISORY and ADVISORY CALENDAR:

The Advisory Calendar reflects the remaining pre-registration days for grade 9 . Please note that Career Day will be Thursday, April 13. We have Career prep advisory sessions for each grade level. If you know anyone would would like to speak to our grade 8 to 12 students, please let me know!

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES:

Please use the assessment calendar in the faculty room! Please write any major tests/presentations/assignments or anything else to best support students and offer an aerial view of what is coming up in each grade level.

Please continue to use the log in entry system in Powerschool to share your concerns about any of your students. If you need help with this, please see one of the counselors.

Also, please see the Student Support Services document for any learning plans and/or accommodations for your students.
