Welcoming 2017 and Celebrating Counselor Appreciation Week

January and February Currents

The Hilltop Middle Counseling Center is welcoming the New Year with good energy and lots of activities.  We are doing our feeder school visits, tackling pre-registration, attending our important district Counselor meetings and helping our students navigate (academically and personally/socially) through second semester.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

High School Counselors are currently registering the incoming 9^th grade students for the upcoming school year.  Additionally, we are also registering our incoming 8^th graders on February 23.  Parents, please ask for paperwork needed for registration.

PROGRESS REPORT:

Please be aware that our next progress report is Thursday, Feb. 16.

Check out the valuable academic interventions available to our students:

Academic Enrichment Center (AEC):  AEC is an afterschool program designed to give students an opportunity to complete missing and/or incomplete missing assignments.  Students are assigned AEC through their teachers.  Students may also attend for homework help from college tutors.

Target tutoring:  Target tutoring is an intervention for Special Ed (RSP) and English Learners (EL) who may need targeted tutoring.

RSP Tutoring:  ROOM 806 (Mon.-Thurs.) 3:10-4:10 PM

English Academy:  Room 209 (Saturday) 8-12:00 PM

FLAGS tutoring:  Please check schedule http://www.htmflagsprogram.org/tutoring.html

Credit Recovery:  Credit recovery is for students who failed a class/classes needed for 8^th grade promotion.  Students need to complete a total of 60 hours including 40 hours of seat time and 20 hours of independent study work.  Please note that after two hours absences, students are dropped from credit recovery.  A passing grade is a “D” or higher to earn credit.  Dates and times vary for subjects.  Please consult calendars/contracts obtained by students or go to the main office for a complete schedule.
