Review Our Fourth Quarter School Counseling Update
It is hard to believe, but we are already entering the 4th quarter of the 2025-2026 school year. Students in grades 6-11 are finalizing their schedules for next school year and students in grade 12 are getting ready for graduation. Exciting times. This message provides an overview of the lessons that will be presented to our secondary students during the fourth quarter of the school year.
As we have shared before, our secondary school counselors provide our students with a range of lessons to help them achieve their goals, pursue their interests, and manage their lifelong learning. Lesson topics include career education, academic achievement, and social/emotional growth. Linked here is the full list of lessons and an overview of each lesson (by grade level).
As we move into the fourth quarter of the school year, our 7-12 school counselors will focus on the following lessons. We look forward to sharing these learning experiences with your students.
