Overview:

The purpose of Academic Counseling Time (ACT) is to he= lp our students become more successful and to empower them to become responsible f= or their education. ACT time doe= s this through a series of educational, college, and career related topics.

Academic Counseling Time takes place the first 20 minu= tes of each Tuesday during second period. Each student receives an Academic Counseling Time folder that remain= s in his/her second period class. Student materials and teacher scripts are distributed to each second period teacher the Friday before the ACT time so that teachers are able to review the materials in advance. If students move or drop from a second period class, then the teacher returns = the student’s ACT folder to either Ms. Molles in room 200 or Ms. Douty in= the Parent Center; they look up the student&#= 8217;s new schedule and forward the ACT folder to the new second-period teacher.

At the end of the school year, students take their ACT folders home to share with their parents and use as a guideline for future endeavors.

This is the tentative calendar of topics for this scho= ol year.
