Counselor Appointments with Students
Seniors seniors are encouraged to sign up for a 30 minute one-on-one counselor appointment, to discuss his/her specific post-secondary questions. Sign-up sheets are posted on the senior counselors’ doors. (Last names A-K will sign up with Mrs. Thompson, and L-Z will sign up with Mrs. Zelkin.)


College Applications
Please allow two days for Mrs. Zelkin or Mrs. Thompson to complete the counselor portion of the application, longer if a paragraph or recommendation letter is required. For letters of recommendation: first make sure that you need a recommendation. If one is needed, allow two to three weeks for a counselor, coach, teacher, administrator, employer, or community member to complete. The person writing the recommendation may request that you provide a resume, fill out additional paperwork, and/or meet with them prior to beginning the letter.
