Counseling Center - 9th Grade
Freshman To-Do-List
Welcome to Wa-Hi! The Counseling Team would like to encourage freshmen to get acclimated to high school and feel welcome on our campus. We encourage students to do this by getting involved with clubs, sports, arts, and volunteering. Freshman year is the perfect time to explore your interests and get connected to your school!
The counseling team is here to help freshmen gain independence and learn to advocate for themselves. We can assist students with goal setting, academic planning, individual concerns, and more. Please don't hesitate to contact your child's counselor with any questions or concerns!
We present information to facilitate students' High School and Beyond Planning and support students Social/Emotional Learning through WaHi’s weekly advisory program, as well as present to students in classrooms two times in freshman year. We do the following presentations:
Fall: Introduction to Student Services (through Freshman Orientation and the Back to School Assembly)
Advisory: High School and Beyond Plan: Career/College Exploration (through SchooLinks), Personal/Social Development (utilizing the Character Strong Curriculum).
Spring Classroom Presentations: Freshman Year Presentation: Graduation Requirements/Credit Checks and Sophomore Registration/4 year course Planning.
We look forward to working with all freshmen and helping them have a successful freshman year!
