​BHS Guidance/Counseling Dept Weekly Update – Week of Dec 21, 2020

12/21/2020

 
​We’re almost there! December school vacation is only 2 ½ school days away. Sending holiday cheer to all, no matter how you celebrate! Please find time to relax and be safe.  Special schedule for this short school week -  12/21 will be a Thurs schedule and 12/22 will be a Friday schedule. Thurs/Fri (RF) cohort students will be in-person for the next 2 days. Wed 1/23 will be a regular Wed schedule with students and staff starting their December break at 12:15pm.  See you all in the 2021 New Year!

​STUDENTS Grades 9-12
 - If you haven’t completed the Early Warning Data Panorama Survey #2, PLEASE TAKE 10 MINUTES TO DO THAT NOW!  Several times a year our Early Warning Data Team surveys students on Panorama.  Similar to the first opening days' survey, on this second survey we will ask you questions about how you think and feel. Your teachers, support staff (e.g., guidance counselors, social workers), and school leaders will be able to see your responses. There may also be times where we share your responses with your caregivers. Please respond honestly—there are no right or wrong answers!  Please know that completing this survey is completely optional and your responses will not impact your grades. 
We anticipate that this survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. You can access the link to the survey by using the following link (https://surveys.panoramaed.com/brookline/login). When prompted to enter a code, enter which is the year of your graduation, last name, and first initial (e.g., 28DoeJ). Please email Matt DuBois with any questions about taking this survey. THANK YOU!

The midpoint of Quarter 2 arrives this week. Teachers will be completing progress reports (IPRs) this Wednesday 12/9 and IPRs will be posted on the student/parent portals this Thursday 12/10.

BHS counselors at both the OLS and 115 Greenough buildings will be present both in person and remotely in our hybrid school plan. Students will be offered a safe, confidential space in the 285 guidance suite and near the 9th grade counselor offices at OLS to set up zoom meetings with counselors and social workers who may be remote on certain days. space to remotely talk with a counselor or social worker. 
Students should contact their counselor directly for more information on how to set up these counseling zoom meetings while in-person at school. Various posters will be shared and posted this week with instructions about how to make appointments and also with QR scan codes that students can use from their phone to automatically connect with their counselor’s or social worker’s phone, email, or zoom office hours space.

December Scholarship Letter

12/1/2020

 
​Dear Seniors, Juniors and their Parents/Guardians,

Some of our students have received either Koplik or Adams Scholarship letters in the past weeks.  These awards cover tuition at Massachusetts State Schools.  Please note that the “tuition” part of cost of attendance is just a fraction of the overall cost, so the typical award is somewhere around $1,500.  The two scholarships have different requirements. Please pay special attention if your student received the Koplik certificate. In order to receive the scholarship, he or she will need to demonstrate proficiency by taking an AP or SAT Subject Test exams (additional details on the back of the scholarship letter).

While doing scholarship searches with my own son, I’ve been very impressed with GoingMerry.com. It is a free service that aggregates scholarships and then emails you when a batch of scholarships are due. For example, Nick  just got a notice that ten scholarships that could match his profile are due in December. I can now annoy him by constantly reminding him to submit the application. ​
