Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.
Annual Parent Survey
Scottsdale Unified School District parents are encouraged to provide input about our schools in the online Annual Parent Survey. The electronic survey will be available beginning Friday, January 20 through February 10. Parents are invited to complete the survey once for each student enrolled. Parents who do not have Internet access may use the school’s computer lab. Access the survey from the District Web site or your child’s school Web site beginning January 20. Your responses will help us make SUSD even better!
