Counselor Corner - January

Happy New Year! We’re excited to usher in the new year with you all! Please review the following bullet points and reach out if you have any questions.

  • As we approach the end of the semester, students who have more than 9 absences are at risk of losing credit. Please be sure to submit any written notes for attendance within 4 days of returning from an absence. Mr. Smith (assistant principal) will send out any extenuating circumstances paperwork. Please complete and submit this form if there is a unique situation that impacted your attendance.

  • If you are failing your CCC course, you will not be allowed to continue for the second semester. Please be sure to stay in contact with your teacher about any missing/failed assignments. Come visit me if you need assistance or have unique circumstances.

  • If you no longer wish to remain enrolled at CCC there is a form that must be completed and returned to CCC. Please email me at larhonda.brinkley@cpschools.com to get access to this document. Please note that unenrolling from a yearlong course results in an ‘E’ grade regardless of current grade in class. This may impact overall GPA, NCAA eligibility, scholarships, graduation status, etc. Please be sure to speak with the homeschool counselor before completing withdrawal paperwork.

  • Enrolling into year two of a program: If you are in a two year program, you will receive a brief Google Form to express your interest in continuing in the program. Once completed, you will be automatically enrolled into year two. Please note you must pass all current classes to remain enrolled in year two. Please reach out to me if you do NOT intend to remain enrolled.

  • Applying to another program: If you are in a one year program and are interested in applying to another one year program, the round one application window opens January 2025. The application can be found on the CCC website.
