Course Selection and Planning to Meet Graduation Requirements
One
of the primary functions of school counseling is to assist students,
grades 7 through 12, in creating a plan for their high school program
and for meeting graduation requirements. On an annual basis, school
counselors assist students and parents in understanding the course
selection process and requirements for the completion of high school.
Academic Counseling
As
the school year progresses, school counselors play a major role in
monitoring each child's academic progress. When appropriate, school
counselors are in involved with parents, students and teachers as it
pertains to academic success. Counselors are a key link between the
family and the classroom teachers.
Career Planning
Starting
in the elementary school, school counselors and classroom teacher work
towards the completion of a career portfolio. Grade level activities
build on the New York State Standards for Career Development and
Occupational Studies (CDOS). If you would like more detailed information
on this curriculum, please contact your child's counselor.
