We had almost 150 students sign-up for our grade 11 college-planning presentation! Remember that presentation was originally scheduled in November, but it was cancelled (no school due to power outage) so it was postponed to this week.

As promised, you can find the PowerPoint presentation here.

The counseling department understands we’re all very busy so these are some key takeaways from the presentation.

Career Guidance meetings can be scheduled with Lia Swanson. Email lswanson@bisd303.org to set up appointments. Ms. Swanson can help students struggling to decide what they want to do post high school, provide resources and information for students interested in the military, trade school programs, and apprenticeships as well as pathway information for careers requiring 2 and 4 year degrees.
