Counseling Curriculum - Grade Level Focus
​Academic Planning & Preparation for Middle School and Beyond

Picture
We are certified College & Post-Secondary Counselors! Our Comprehensive Guidance & Counseling Program follows a Counselor led plan of exploration, planning and preparation for all students, at all grade levels.

We believe that a quality Comprehensive Guidance & Counseling Program is an integral part of the holistic educational process. Utilizing the State of Michigan Comprehensive Guidance & Counseling curriculum, Counselors systematically and actively support all students in the acquisition of the skills necessary to demonstrate competencies in the areas of academic, career and personal/social development. By acquiring these competencies, students will be empowered to learn to learn, learn to work, and learn to live now and in the future in an increasingly diverse society.

Each year our Individualized Academic & College Planning program is delivered through a variety of on-going methods that build on one another.
  • Curriculum Night
  • PTSO Grade Level information Night(s)
  • Grade Level Class Meetings 
  • Small Group/Classroom Meetings
  • Individual Appointments
  • Open Office Visits
