Jan. 9-11: Enrollment Sheets and Power School

Wednesday (1/9/2019)

Advisors present lesson on reviewing course enrollment forms:

After the presentations, please make sure the students have filled them out (have 7 credits worth of classes)--this includes alternatives (except for core classes). Students may work independently on these. Also, if a student doesn't have their form/has lost it, they can get a new form in the counseling office. If the student has a class question and needs to talk with their counselor, you may send them to the commons as a few counselors will be out there to answer questions during Advisory. Please only send a few students at a time.



Thursday (1/10/2019)
Advisors present lesson on entering courses in PS:

All of the information should be on the PowerPoint--please review before showing students as the students will probably have multiple questions as we are using a completely new system to select and enroll in courses this year! At the end of the presentation, students should be entering their course selections independently in the new system (not PowerSchool). Students may come to the commons to ask their counselor questions--please only send a few student at a time.

Friday (1/11/2019)

Advisors enrollment sheets and return to counseling

Please continue to allow students to enter their courses. Students may come to the commons to ask their counselor questions--please only send a few student at a time. At the end of the advisory or as student are finishing, they must hand in their course enrollment forms to their advisory teacher. Then all of the advisors should bring the forms to Lois Magnuson in the counseling office.
Goal Setting:


  • Goal Setting: Students will set goals and actions steps to achieve desired grades.
    • Students will fill out the form.
    • Students will take a picture of the completed goal setting paper.
    • Encourage students will text or email the image to guardian/home.
    • Teachers will collect and keep the forms.
    • On 1/29 visit with each student to see if they spoke with their teachers. This should not be a punitive conversation. Instead, encourage students to take ownership of their goals/actions by speaking with adults that can support them in achieving their goals!
    • Students will revisit the goals on 2/5, 3/5, 4/2, and 5/7
