Over the past two weeks, the Class of 2029 Wellness Team hit the road, visiting every Equity and Emotions classroom to provide our freshmen with the ultimate roadmap for high school success. The goal? To ensure every student has the tools, knowledge, and support needed to stay on track for graduation in 2029!
The High School Blueprint
During these interactive sessions, counselors broke down the essential "must-knows" of the HSFI experience. Students explored:
The Wellness Team: A deep dive into who we are and the various ways we support your personal and academic goals.
The Academic Calendar: Clearing up the confusion between Semesters vs. Marking Periods.
The Path to Graduation: A clear look at promotion requirements and the various Diploma Designations students can earn.
The HSFI Advantage: Understanding the importance of CTE pathways and meeting high attendance expectations.
Managing Your Records: How to stay on top of disciplinary records and maximize resources like Jupiter.
