Balloting
Counselors will start the balloting process beginning late January/early February. In the fall, all students meet individually with their counselor to create or review their 4-year plan in SchooLinks. During balloting, counselors will meet with each grade level and each student individually to review their ballots, academic progress towards graduation, credit recovery options, and post-secondary plans. Students will be instructed to log back into their SchooLinks accounts and review their next year’s courses for accuracy.
Please review the schedule below to see when students will meet with their counselor.
If students need further help, it is advised that they reach out to their counselors during the week that their grade level is balloting. Students may also call the counseling office at (209) 574-1787 with general questions or for assistance.
