Counseling Newsletter

We are now more than halfway through the marking period. This also means we are more than halfway through 6th grade! Students should be checking power school and should be aware of grades. By this point in the school year, students should have improved their self-advocacy skills and be speaking with teachers about any low grades or areas they would like to improve. Mrs. DeHaan is also available to assist students who need to make academic improvements or need assistance in forming self-advocacy skills.

Exciting news! This year 7th graders will have a new opportunity to be part of a district Career Fair at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre on April 21st. During the school day, students will be able to hear from a variety of presenters about different careers. The planning for this big event is underway. If you know of anyone who may be interested in being presenter, please contact your child's school counselor.

This is a busy month with our focus on high school planning! Mrs. Funaro will be reviewing student course selections and helping students understand high school scheduling. All eighth-grade students were given a curriculum planning guide to review high school courses. Sheehan school counselors have already come over to Moran to explain the scheduling process. Course selection will be done at home through PowerSchool starting on February 13-21. Directions for how to complete the registration online Please contact Mrs. Funaro with any questions.
