Dear Parents and Guardians,
Hello! We just want to give you an update on things that are happening in the Counseling Office.
• We are in the midst of our 9th grade individual College and Career Readiness meetings. Mr. Jackson sent an email to parents of 9th graders with a link to sign up for an appointment. There are still plenty of open slots for October, so if you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet, please refer to his email. Also, if a parent is unable to attend, please let us know so that we can go ahead and meet with your student. We’ll send them home with information to share with you!
• We are also meeting individually with our 7th grade students. It is sure fun getting to know them!
• Our school’s HOPE Squad for this year was recently formed. The HOPE Squad is a peer support team whose goals are to provide service and support to students and the community, and to prevent youth suicide and suicidal behaviors. They will meet throughout the year during Quest time to participate in training and to plan activities that provide service and promote a positive school culture.
• We have begun our Windows to the Workplace career presentations. These are short presentations held during Quest time to give students an opportunity to learn about various careers. If you would be interested in teaching students about your career, we’d love to have you come! Please send us an email at monica[email protected] OR [email protected]
• We recently taught a lesson in the 7th grade College and Career Awareness classes that focused on working with others (communication, collaboration, negotiation, teamwork, etc.) Next term we will teach a lesson relating to the language of college and careers in order to acquaint students with things such as types of colleges, types of degrees, earning college credit during high school, and so forth.
• The counseling office will be hosting our “College Week” during the last week of October. During that week, we will be in 9th grade classes having the students on www.utahfutures.org to learn more about how to choose a college, as well as ways to pay for it. Utah Futures is a fantastic resource for college and career planning! It would be worth your time to check it out with your student. We will send out more details about College Week as it gets closer.
• Finally, here is the link to our Middle Years newsletter for October: http://rfecustomer.com/Pubs/201910/812969_MY1019_E.pdf?ID=9370
This issue includes some good suggestions regarding effective expectations and how to help your student balance school with other activities and responsibilities.
We really enjoy working with your students. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better help or support them here at school.

We will be in Mr. Rencher’s classes on 1/22, Mrs. Bird’s on 1/23, and Mr. Parker’s on 1/24. The CCA classes are 1st thru 4th period. Mrs. Distefano will send a reminder email at the beginning of that week with the bell schedule.
- Counselors will also be in the 8th grade U.S. History classes on both Thursday 1/23 and Friday 1/24. On 1/23, students will be learning about career pathways, and they will begin their 4-year plans. On 1/24, parents are invited to join your student as they learn about high school graduation requirements and begin the class registration process for 9th grade.

An announcement will be made to dismiss students to go to their new 1st period classes. Some students have changed their minds about what elective classes they would like to take. For those hoping to change their schedules, requests must be submitted on our Class Change Request Form. There is a $5.00 class change fee that needs to be paid to the Finance Office. Please know that we do our best to accommodate students’ requests, but many classes are completely full, making changes difficult or even impossible. The deadline to submit class change requests is Thursday 1/16 so that schedule changes can be wrapped up by 1/17.
- We’ve had some great career presentations as part of our Windows to the Workplace. We are always looking for presenters. If you would be interested in teaching students about your career, please email us at [email protected].
- Our January issue of the Middle Years newsletter has some tips about managing homework and appreciating differences. It can be accessed here: http://rfecustomer.com/Pubs/202001/812969_MY0120_E.pdf?ID=7914

Parents and Guardians,
Second term is off to a great start, and we just wanted to let you know what’s happening in the counseling department.
- Last week was our annual College Week. We went into 9th grade classes to teach about types of colleges and different ways to pay for education. Students were able to explore colleges on www.utahfutures.org. We had presentations during Quest time from Nebo’s Advanced Learning Center (ALC), Mountainland Technical College (Mtech), and from the high school counselors about how to earn college credit during high school. We had some fun activities during lunch, as well as trivia questions each day with college swag prizes for winners. We hope the activities provided some good information for your students!
- For parents who are interested in learning more about the ALC or MTech, we will have representatives from those programs set up at tables in the commons area at our next parent/teacher conference night (11/21).
- We are grateful that many parents of our 9th grade students have been able to come in for individual College and Career Readiness meetings. We are continuing to meet with the remainder of the 9th grade students, and will send them home with a lot of information. Hopefully, we’ll wrap that up by the end of the month!
- We will be teaching in the 7th grade College and Career Awareness classes next week. Our focus will be on introducing students to the language and processes related to post-secondary education.
- Today is the beginning of our “Two Weeks of Giving” drive. Our HOPE Squad has teamed up with Latinos In Action to help families in need. There is a competition between grade levels to see who can collect the most donations. We are collecting new or gently used coats to be distributed to students within Nebo district. We are also collecting food to be given to Tabitha’s Way, a charitable organization helping local families. Cash donations are also being accepted. We appreciate your support!
- We’ve had some great career presentations for our Windows to the Workplace. We’d like students to have as many opportunities as possible to learn about different careers. If you would be interested in teaching about your career, please email us at [email protected].
- Here is our Middle Years newsletter for November, which touches on the shifting relationship with your tween, reading for pleasure, and making the most out of parent/teacher conferences. http://rfecustomer.com/Pubs/201911/812969_MY1119_E.pdf?ID=8644
