Academic Guidance

Overview June 3, 2019

Academic Guidance

Counselors disseminate information relevant to a student’s academic needs, thus enabling him to make sound and mature decisions regarding his performance and future planning. This includes information regarding course selection, graduation requirements, special placements, summer school, discussion and interpretation of standardized testing (PSAT, PreACT, SAT Reasoning Test & SAT Subject Tests, ACT), study skills, behavior, motivation, Peer Tutoring, and Academic Probation monitoring.

JHS follows a comprehensive counseling model.

Updated Scheduling Collaboration Dates & Times

Mark your calendar now and have your student set an alert!

Morning Collaboration Meetings with Counselors begin January 13. These mandatory Collaborations will be conducted on Zoom with your student’s counselor and scheduled according to their original designated Cohort Group Color (Red or Gold). Students will receive an overview of the course request selection process, become familiar with the 2021-2022 Course Catalog and prerequisites, and begin the initial pre-selection process. Attendance and promptness are mandatory as these sessions will be live and not recorded.

Make sure you are on track with your graduation goals

Following Collaboration, counselors will begin meeting with students one-on-one to finalize their course requests. Scheduling meetings will take place from January 14 through March 12. Students will be emailed a calendar appointment for an individual meeting with their counselor through Zoom and we ask parents to help them understand the importance of attending these meetings.

Appeal Process for Higher-Level Course Selection

Students that have not met the prerequisites for a higher-level course will have the opportunity to appeal for their desired course. Each grade level will have its own designated set of dates to access the appeal form online. Students who do not appeal during this time frame or do not request the course in their counselor meetings will not be considered for a higher-level course.

The Appeal Dates

Junior Appeal Dates: Feb 22 – Feb 26 (the online appeal form closes at 4:00 pm on 2/26)
