Academic School Counselors 

What They Do:

• Course Selection: Help you choose the right classes based on your interests, strengths, and graduation requirements.

• Monitor Academic Progress: Track your grades and provide help if you're struggling in any classes.

• College and Career Planning: Guide you in exploring college options, scholarships, career paths, and how to apply for them.

• Test Preparation: Assist with preparing for standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT) and understanding their importance.

• Create Academic Plans: Help you with strategies for success, including study habits, time management, and setting goals.

When to Use School Guidance for Classes Resources:

• If you need help choosing classes or deciding what to take next year.

• If you're struggling with grades or need help improving study habits.

• If you're thinking about college or want to explore career options.

• If you're unsure about your future and need advice on what steps to take next.

How to Use These Resources:

• Set up a meeting: If you need help, don’t wait—set up a meeting with your counselor to discuss your needs.

• Ask for support early: The earlier you reach out, the more your counselor can help. They can guide you through any challenges, whether personal or academic.

• Be open and honest: Trust that counselors are there to listen without judgment. They are here to help you succeed.

• Confidentiality: Most of what you discuss with your counselor, especially personal matters, is confidential (unless there's a concern for safety). This allows you to speak freely about your issues.
