Senior College Survey




Please remember this is required by every senior to complete. 

Please make sure that you walk through this slideshow with students, as it is very confusing to have them complete on their own with zero guidance. Some questions are required.

  •  If you have any questions that you are not able to answer, call Brenda at extension x7049 or Lois at x7046. 
  • If students have individual problems, please send them to the counseling office for help.


  Thank you.

Planning ahead: 5/7- Senior Celebrations in your advisory.
  • Please remember that next week we have EOCs. You will see your advisory kiddos every day during lunch (Freshmen/Sophomore advisories have first lunch, juniors/seniors have second lunch - you eat when your advisory kiddos eat). 
  •  During this time please plan your senior celebration that will take place during the seniors last advisory on 5/7.

April 9th Advisory

During advisory today, AP PreAdmin sessions will be taking place in the Little Theater. There may a number of your students enrolled in AP classes that will be absent from advisory because they are attending this meeting. Please have them check in with you first before they go (or you can always check their schedules for AP verification).

 ** FYI: These meetings will also be offered Thursday and Friday during Advisory/LH in the Little Theater. 

  • All students have received two emails reminding them of the required PreAdm sessions. 

  • David McDorman is the Admin who is leading the AP Testing this year. 


  • For the seniors that are present in advisory, please do an action plan sheet check-in sheet. With seniors, it might be better to steer them onto pre-college check-in. You can use this checklist for ideas to talk about with your seniors (it is a work in progress so if you have something you think is beneficial to add for next year please let me know!)


Things to look forward to:

5/16/2019: While we are sad to see our seniors go, we will soon be welcoming our newest BLUE JAYS! On May 16th, we will have our class of 2023 Welcome day where the incoming freshmen come visit!

*On this day, advisors will be asked to come down to the fieldhouse for a quick intro before returning to your LH.

March 12 extended Advisory

Broke 30 for 30 Video: Click on link for video

For the extended advisory students will be watching the ESPN film Broke which shows the lives and spending habits of certain athletes. These athletes talk about the downfalls of financial decisions they made and what happens to their money when they stopped playing.

Before watching the movie ask the students to come up with a number they felt if they make per year there would be no way they would go broke. Once you get this number from the students write it on the board and they will see how their number compares to some of the amounts these athletes made.

Once you have stopped the video discuss with the class what poor decisions these people made with their money. Do some of these same decisions apply to people who go broke that don't make millions?

 *You could also ask students to google athletes or professionals that have had financial trouble since the film was released as these names may be more relevant to them. 

Make sure to start the video from the beginning. I am probably going to show 45 minutes to an hour depending on how interested my kids are in it and then give them the rest of the hour to work on assignments or homework they have. This is up to you. You can always do grade checks if you have time.

TODAY'S ADVISORY GOALS

1. Check in with students regarding their progress towards the goals they mapped out on paper at the beginning of the semester. Encourage them to note any progress or adjustments they may need to make in order to reach their goal.

2. Pass out the PT Conference Goals worksheet to students to complete. These were in your mailboxes this morning. Students are only to fill in the first column, with Hour, Subject, Teacher, Room and Grade. The notes section is for Parents to take notes on conference night. Please collect the forms at the end of advisory and turn them in to Lois Magnuson in the guidance office.
