Senior Year Planning --- it is time!
BEHS Counselors met with seniors last week during the school day. Groups of 30-35 students me together to receive information critical to graduation and post high school training programs. There are 67 remaining seniors that counselors will work with this week.
Parents, each senior left their meeting with a Career and College Ready File Folder complete with many different resources, advice, and instructions. Ask to see your senior’s folder and review it with them often . Keep these resources handy to help you and your student throughout the year. Please come and meet with your counselor often for assistance!
Included in the packet and/or attached above include:
1. A copy of each student’s personal academic transcript (an informal copy). Students were encouraged to check it for accuracy. Total credits, Cumulative GPA, and Class Ranking were identified. Students were encouraged to check their credits and meet with their counselor if they have
any questions or concerns regarding their graduation requirements.
2. So you’re a senior….now what? A handout to return to your counselor. Check the boxes in areas where you would like to receive additional help.
