Good evening!
Happy first day of February! The months are certainly flying by, so I want to make sure you are aware of all of the amazing opportunities for future planning located in the Counseling section of this email. Students can explore career options, ACT Prep courses, summer jobs, scholarships, and more. Please take time to review and reach out with questions, to Counselors Mrs. Christine Brooks and Ms. Katie Gauntner, and Career Coach Mrs. Judy Mey. They look forward to pointing you in the right direction.
Please remember that Parent-Teacher Conferences are next Wednesday, February 7 from 3:30 - 6 pm, so please click the link below to schedule your appointment by Monday, February 5.
Wishing you all a Happy Groundhog Day! What do you think Punxsutawney Phil will do tomorrow? Whatever he does, I hope he watches out for that first step, it's a doozie!*
Enjoy the rest of the week and keep the ripple going, Panthers!
