Counseling Corner: Addison Trail Guidance Department helps students prepare for post-secondary success

Throughout the week of Nov. 16, Addison Trail Guidance Counselors will meet with juniors in small groups to begin the college search and planning process.

Students will use Naviance during that time to begin researching colleges. Counselors also will review students’ transcripts and four-year plan. In the spring, juniors will participate in an interview with their counselor, which will allow them to review course selections for senior year, graduation requirements and post-secondary options.

Counselors also will meet with freshmen throughout the week of Nov. 16 to review the registration process. Students will meet individually with their counselor in December and January to complete this task, as well as an interview. The interview will allow freshmen to review their progress and discuss how to build their high school résumé to achieve their post-secondary goals. Copies of the interview and course selections will be mailed home.
