It’s been
a little bit since I blogged, but I have been busy trying to keep my head above
water. Currently, I am notifying parents
of their student’s academic progress while planning for College Seminar,
Advisory, college application workshops and personal counseling sessions. The
next step in the academic intervention plan is to meet with the 10th
grade students who are failing 3 or more classes and their parents. Our school provides workshops on Saturdays
for parents so that helps with the intervention. I am also planning to do a “Coffee with the
Counselor” three times a year to hopefully meet and get to know the parents who
need extra support. But, I am so excited
to share the bulletin board I put together!
This
year, I made it a goal to put together an “interactive” bulletin board. This means, that I add and delete information
for students as the year goes on. Right
now, the counseling department has one bulletin board. I am thinking about “creating” a bulletin
board on the wall next to the counseling office to provide reminders and tips
for students.
The
bulletin board has the following information:
- Standardized testing information (SAT/ACT deadlines and test dates)
- College Fly-In Program information for seniors
- Scholarship and enrichment program information (this is switched out by deadlines)
- Important college deadlines
- College spotlight-I feature a college every month
- Upcoming Events-College preview days, open houses, information sessions.
Here are some pictures.

I love
this bulletin board and how often I catch students looking at it and even
taking information out of the pockets! I am thinking about putting together a
bulletin board for the college standardized testing!
What
types of bulletin boards do you put together?
