Snow Days

January 22, 2018

After nearly a week of winter weather, we are finally back to school in NC. For those of you who do not know, snowfall is quite an event here. We hear all kinds of criticism from northerners who are quite used to this weather. They simply do not understand how a little snow can basically shut down a town (or a state). Well, to be honest, people here do not know how to drive in the white stuff. Especially newly trained bus drivers with 60+students in their charge. Or a 16 year old who just got her license. So we stay home. Sometimes we err on the side of caution, but better safe than sorry is our motto. There are other factors to consider (ICE), but that is not the purpose of today’s blog so I will move on.

So, students, how did you spend your time? Netflix marathon? Sleep? Binge on Super Mario or Assassin’s Creed? Or were you productive and got some good ‘ol studying done. Did you remember your impending finals? Did you finally finish that end of semester project? more “Snow Days”

About GPA Pt. 2

January 17, 2018

Have you calculated your GPA? Be sure to see my previous post for directions on how to do that. I also have pinned some GPA calculators here. Some things to keep in mind…

If you have changed schools while in high school this can be a bit tricky. First, you want to make sure that you save report cards and transcripts so you have them as a reference for your new school. Courses translate differently from state to state and even from system to system. Keeping these records will help you to make sure that you receive all of the credits you have earned. As counselors we do our best to make sure that everything is done correctly, but we are human and sometimes miss something. You are your best advocate. Never be afraid to ask questions when something doesn’t look right. more “About GPA Pt. 2”

A little about this blog…

Hi! Welcome to my blog! I created this blog to help both students and parents find information. I have noticed that many students do not ask for help in looking for colleges and other opportunities and wanted to create something they can use to ask questions and find answers. Please feel free to submit questions under the Contact Us tab. I don’t claim to know everything, but if I don’t know I will do my best to find out. Enjoy!
