Every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m during EO time., our counselors deliver engaging, school-wide presentations designed to inform and inspire our students. Teachers kick off their 1st period classes by logging into Google Meets and projecting the presentation for students to see.
During these sessions, counselors cover a variety of topics, including:
- Updates on upcoming school events
- Tips for academic success
- Strategies for social-emotional wellness
- College and career readiness insights
- And so much more
We look forward to connecting with our students each week and providing valuable resources to help them thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Click below to view last week's presentation.
