Counseling Office Timeline and Calendar

The Counseling office is a busy place throughout the year. We work to support student success in a variety of ways including providing classroom guidance, meeting one on one with students and parents, collaborating with teachers, organizing parent information nights, and advising students regarding academic, college, and career related issues. Counselors can have unpredictable schedules but there are certain events that happen throughout the year that are important to note.

The following is month by month listing of counseling activities. For actual dates, check announcements in Counseling & College/Career Center News or see the Counseling Events Calendar.
