Schedule Change Information

As of now, there will be no more schedule changes without going through the formal schedule change process.  This process requires obtaining a Schedule Change Request Form from one of our Guidance Counselors.  There will be a folder on Miss Tulip's door for the 6th and 7th grade students and a folder on Mr. Harlan's door for the 8th and 9th grade students.  They can also be downloaded from the Guidance Department section of the Providence Hall website.  The forms require students to specify which classes they are requesting to add/drop, a valid reason why they are submitting the request, signatures from both teachers that they are adding/dropping and a parent signature.  Forms must be completely filled out or they will not be considered.  Please remember that submitting a form is only a request, it is not a guarantee that students' schedules will be changed.  Changing of schedules will depend on class sizes, convenience and the validity of the request.  September 7, 2012 will be the final deadline for any schedule changes for the semester, so please make sure that all Schedule Change Request Forms are submitted prior to that date.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your or your student's grade level Guidance Counselor.  Thank you!

Back to School Night!

Parents,

Don't forget about Back to School Night tonight at 6:00!  There will be a short presentation by the Administration, followed by an opportunity to meet your students' teachers and experience a condensed version of what their typical day at Providence Hall Junior High is like  :)

Welcome!!!

As your Guidance Counselors, we would like to personally welcome you (or welcome back some of you) to Providence Hall Junior High!  For those of you who may not know, Guidance Counselors are certified educators who are uniquely qualified to address all students’ academic, personal/social and career development needs.  We address these needs through individual counseling sessions, group counseling sessions and classroom guidance lessons.  We collaborate with students, parents, faculty and staff to promote and enhance student success. 

Please take note of the name and contact information of the Guidance Counselor assigned to your or your student’s grade level (See below).  In an attempt to avoid any miscommunication, please be sure to contact the appropriate Guidance Counselor if you would like to speak with someone about yourself or your student.  Also, please continue to refer to our blog and our website (www.providencehall.com) for guidance-related information, guidance-related forms and any upcoming deadlines and/or events.   

We are looking forward to working with you all throughout the up-and-coming school year.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns that you might have regarding your or your student’s education.  We would be more than happy to assist you in any way that we can in the hopes of making each student’s Junior High experience as enjoyable and successful as possible! 

Sincerely,
