FOR SENIORS ONLY

This week the counselors are conducting group meetings with seniors in their PE, Health, and Peer Leadership classes

  • On September 17 the Guidance Office emailed an explanation about this process to parents/guardians.  At these meetings, seniors are encouraged to sign up for individual senior meetings with their counselors, which will begin on October 1.
  • Students with an October or November college application deadline should sign up for a senior meeting as soon as possible. 
  • Team II and Team III students must sign up for their senior meeting with Ms. Napolitano or Ms. Iovine in the Guidance Center or schedule the meeting directly with their counselor via email. 
  • Team I students must schedule their senior meeting with Ms. Varlese in Team I, or schedule the meeting directly with their counselor via email.  

Have a great day!

With excellence, equity, social justice and access,
