Looking back at last year’s Clinical Corner(feels funny to say that!) I wanted to practice what I preach so I took five minutes and answered the reflection questions. What I found was that it enabled me to have a self-aware start to the New Year. I don’t have to figure everything out, because the prompts reminded me that I actually know a lot about what works for me already. And now I just have to be consistent in doing those things that help me feel my best. I bet this would be the same for you and your students/teens. So that being said, I just want to give you a little assignment for the next two weeks until the next Clinical Corner comes out. I want you to really pay attention to what you are consistently doing…is it checking social media, going to Wawa every day, putting yourself down? I just want you to jot a couple notes down somewhere, maybe easiest to do in your phone. And just ask yourself, are these the important things that I want or need to be consistent with? Chances are some are and some aren’t. But it will help you be aware of what changes you need to make. And if you can be so consistent with some things that don’t really make much difference in your life, can you commit to trading them out for things that will?

The school counseling time is excited to begin the course selection process in January for the 2025-2026 school year. Course selection will occur electronically. Please review these instructions and contact your student’s counselor if you have any questions. The 2025-2026 High School Program of Studies, Career Cluster Alignment to Courses at NBC High School Guide, Department Sequence Charts, High School Program of Studies Video Series and the Four-Year Planning Tool are available on the High School Counseling Department Web Page to assist students and parents as they make course selections.The timeline below indicates the dates that the PowerSchool Parent Portal will be accessible for course selection and dates for student/counselor scheduling meetings.

High School Counselors will be conducting group scheduling presentations for current 9th-11th graders. During this time the counselors will briefly discuss career pathways, the course selection process and assist the students in beginning a preliminary schedule. The school counselors will conduct individual meetings with students in Grades 11, 10, and 9 to confirm their course selections starting in late January. The counselors will start with rising seniors and then meet with rising juniors and sophomores. High School counselors will meet with students in grade 8 in the middle school in March.

We have received many questions regarding the ability for students in juniors to park on campus. We believe that safety is a priority for our students and believe students parking on campus, instead of nearby side streets, is beneficial for student safety and have, therefore, looked for ways to update our current system which only allows seniors to park on campus.

To this end, we have the ability to offer 60 parking spots to juniors to allow parking on campus. These spots will be issued via lottery to students. Students must have the license, insurance and a vehicle by the application/lottery deadline to ensure they are included in that lottery. Three lotteries will happen between now and spring break.

Three Lotteries will be held during the 2024-2025 school year.

The timeline for the first round of submissions is below.
