It is a busy time of year and here in the Guidance Department is no exception. Tis the season for report cards, conferences, and developmental guidance lessons. Soon the guidance staff will be getting all students onto their Naviance accounts. Navi- ance is a program that students will be using through high school to apply to colleg- es, research careers and colleges, and keep track of their GPA and class standing. At JFK, we use this program as an introduction to careers, goal setting, and thinking about plans after high school. They will also be given directions on how to log into their Naviance account from home. Quarter 2 Progress Reports are going home with students on December 14th. Re- port cards for Quarter 2 will be issued to the students on January 25th. As always, please remember to check your child’s agenda book daily to make sure they are completing their assignments. Also, a valuable tool for parent’s, PowerSchool can assist you in keeping up with your child’s grades and can keep you in contact with their teachers. If you would like to schedule a team meeting with your child’s team of teachers, please contact their guidance counselors at any time. Have a Happy and Healthy winter break!!
