As December approaches, we prepare for the biggest month of transition.
-Eighth graders will come explore the high school in the new year.
-Juniors will get their PSAT scores in the middle of the month and start thinking about life after high school.
-Seniors will put the final touches on their regular decision college applications while simultaneously finding out admissions decisions on their early applications.
-Past graduates will return to tell our seniors what life at college is really like. So, even though we are in the depth of winter, students at all ages are transitioning.
As adults, we often decide to stay in our comfort zones, in the familiar, in the constant. However, our children do not have that same luxury. The transition through the stages of development and life whether they want to or not. Let's all try to remember when we were there, repeatedly having to do things for the first time, and give our students that extra encouragement, that big smile, that reassurance that they can. Because we all need that once in awhile.
On December 13th, please join the guidance department for a Coffee with Counselors that will focus on understanding the PSAT and Pre-ACT scores. We will meet in the library at 7:45 am. We hope to see you there.
