A New Beginning

Middle school life is beginning for sixth graders.  Middle school life is ending for eighth graders. High school life is beginning for freshmen. High school life is ending for seniors.  The Canton 6-12 Guidance Department is experiencing both an end and a beginning.  The success and advancement of the guidance services under Mr. Dan Rubin is ending, but his accomplishments over the last eight years established the foundation for the new and exciting programs we are unveiling this year and in future years.

Our vision centers around the idea that the guidance services from sixth to twelfth grade will follow a cohesive curriculum, building in complexity and detail, as the student matures through the middle and high school. Our initiatives include this blog, Twitter updates, a revamped webpage (which is already in the works), parent coffees at both schools, night events, bus tours of colleges, after school SAT and ACT prep, lunchtime workshops, and our own YouTube Channel.

We hope you will join us as we embrace this exciting time in the Canton Guidance Department. We aim to reach the needs of ALL our students, at all ages, and hope you will help us in achieving this goal. To that end, we ask that if you need something, pick up the phone, send an email, share your thoughts. We are here to HELP.
