A
Good
morning,
I'm
Christina,
Wilson
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
guidance
department
and
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
today
and
and
really
for
supporting,
not
only
the
guidance
department
but
also
your
child
in
their
High
School
experience.
The
topic
for
today
is,
of
course,
selection.
So
we
can
have
a
nice
conversation.
I
can
take.
You
know,
answers
to
more
specific
and
individual
questions
for
you,
but
kind
of
like
a
big
picture
of
what's
going
on
with
course.
A
Selection
at
this
point
is,
we
are
starting,
what's
called
academic,
advising
meetings
and
that's
something
that
a
few
years
ago
we
looked
to
make
more
formal.
We
were
always
doing
it,
but
we
were
never
specifically
calling
it
academic
advising
meeting.
So
lo
and
behold,
students
were
actually
getting
academic
advising,
but
it
wasn't
titled
that
we're
trying
to
be
a
little
bit
more
intentional,
so
that
students
know
that
this
is
a
time
when
they
can
start
to
discuss
things
like
what
course
should
I
be
in
next
year.
A
A
And
how
can
we
kind
of
plot
that,
for
you
over
the
course
of
four
or
three
more
years,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
our
students
might
have
an
idea
of
what
they
want
to
accomplish,
but
sometimes
they
don't
know
all
the
necessary
steps
or
they
don't
know
what
courses
are
prerequisite
or
that
a
certain
level
of
math
is
needed
to
be
in.
You
know
a
science
course
or
something
along
those
lines,
so
this
is
where
a
counselor
would
sit
down
with
a
student.
A
Those
meetings
are
starting
next
week,
and
hopefully
you
all
received
an
email
from
me
whether
you
have
a
9th
or
a
10th
grader
we're
calling
that
academic
advising
meetings
and
students
were
also
sent
through
Google
Classroom,
the
calendar
for
their
counselor
and
asked
to
make
an
appointment
for
one
of
those
meetings
and
our
Juniors.
It
looks
a
little
different.
We
roll
the
academic
advising
meeting
into
the
initial
College
meeting
with
a
junior,
so
we
we
think,
and
we
believe
that
those
conversations
are
sort
of
one
and
the
same.
A
What
you
take
in
high
school,
the
coursework
that
you're
going
to
take
is
aligned
with
the
whole
college
process.
So
you
need
to
be
in
certain
level
of
courses.
You
need
to
have
accomplished
certain
things
by
the
time
you
apply
to
college.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
have
that
information
and
that
all
of
it
is
you
know
it's
aligned.
So,
for
example,
if
you're
looking
to
go
as
an
engineering
major,
we
want
to
really
live
specifically
at
your
math
and
science,
all
through
high
school.
But
what
are
you
taking
in
your
senior
year?
A
A
Why
did
why
didn't
you
take
them
and
if
there
was
a
reason
why
they
didn't
take
them?
That's
something
that
the
counselor
is
then
going
to
note
and
talk
with
the
family
and
talk
to
the
student
about
how
that
could
best
be
expressed
to
the
college.
Is
it
the
right
Avenue
to
have
the
counselor
write
about
that
in
their
letter
of
recommendation?
Is
there
a
spot
on
the
application
where
a
student
might
want
to
explain?
You
know
something
like
that?
A
Is
that
a
good
idea
and
those
conversations
would
happen
in
that
Junior
meeting
and
then
again
in
senior
year
as
far
so?
That's
that's
academic
advising
and
just
so.
You
know
that
academic
advising
meetings
start
now,
but
they
run
for
five
months,
so
they're
going
to
go
all
of
November,
all
of
December,
all
of
January,
all
of
February
and
all
of
March.
So
if
your
child
is
not
one
of
the
first
ones
jumping
on
and
getting
you
know
an
appointment
with
their
counselor,
not
a
big
deal.
A
We
have
appointments
all
the
way
through
March
or
let's
just
say,
your
child
is
one
of
the
first
ones
that
wants
to
meet,
but
they
are
might
need
an
additional
appointment
or
they
might
need
one
in
February
after
you
know,
AP
selection
or
they
might
need
again
in
March,
that's
fine.
They
can
meet
multiple
times.
They
don't
have
to
just
have
one
meeting
with
them.
Yeah
Juniors
they'll
have
that
initial
academic
advising
meeting
within
their
initial
Junior
meeting
and
then
from
there.
A
They
move
on
to
having
a
family
meeting,
so
families
are
invited
in
for
a
junior
family
college.
Meeting
academic
advising
might
be
discussed
at
that
meeting,
but
we'd
like
to
have
the
initial
College
meeting
with
the
student
just
the
counselor
and
the
student
first
from
there.
We
can
go
on
to
having
a
family
meeting.
A
So
if
your
child
wants
to
make
that
appointment,
if
they
want
to
get
a
head
start
and
they
want
to
be
have
that
college
meeting
with
their
family
early
on,
we
just
suggest
that
they
make
their
appointment
for
their
initial
earlier
on
in
the
process.
But
again
you
might
need
to
have
two
or
three
of
those
and
that's
perfectly
fine.
Our
counselors
have
their
schedules
open
for
that,
and
the
college
meetings
go
through
the
end
of
May.
A
A
But
this
is
our
course
selection
website
and
it's
not
updated
for
the
coming
school
year,
but
we
probably
will
have
it
updated
by
the
end
of
November,
but
I
think
the
the
content
is
not
going
to
change
that
much
why
this
is
important
and
where
this
is
located,
it
is
on
the
guidance
website
and
it
has
a
lot
of
I
think
helpful
information.
So,
if
you're
looking
to
see,
let's
see
how
does
my
child
make
an
appointment
for
with
their
counselor?
All
they
have
to
do
is
click
on
this.
A
A
The
appointments
for
the
most
part
for
individual
College
meetings
and
academic
advising
they're,
either
during
office
hours
or
they're
during
lunch.
So
the
students
don't
have
to
miss
class
for
our
Juniors.
When
we
have
the
family
meetings,
they
may
miss
class
for
those
they'll
know
in
advance.
They
can
sign
up
for
a
time
that
works
for
them
or
for
a
class
that
they
don't
mind
missing
and
they'll
be
able
to
sign
up.
You
know
for
something
that
works
in
their
schedule.
This
is
a
fact
sheet.
A
These
are
our
elective
courses,
but
we
have
it
broken
down
by
ninth
grade
10th
grade
and
11th
grade.
So,
for
example,
what
is
available
to
a
ninth
grade
student
to
take
for
next
year
is
going
to
be
different
for
our
11th
and
12th
grade
students.
So
it's
broken
down.
So
what
I'm
on
right
now
are
the
courses
that
are
available
for
9th
grade
students
if
you're
in
10th
Grade,
you
just
come
down
to
10th
grade
a
list
and
then
for
12th
grade.
A
So
there's
information
here
we're
going
to
update
it,
for
you
know
the
new
year,
but
you
know,
if
you
have
a
ninth
grade
student
and
you're
wondering
you
know
what
is
the
global
Scholars?
Is
it
right
for
my
child?
How
will
my
child
learn
about
the
global
Scholars,
Program
or
science,
research
or
entrepreneurial,
the
startup
program
in
January?
We
will
have
a
assembly
and
specifically
for
ninth
graders.
They
will
hear
from
all
of
these
different
programs.
They
will
have
students
talk
about
their
experience.
A
They
will
have
people
explain
what
these
programs
are,
so
that
your
child
is
more
informed
and
then
they'll
give
them
some
time
to
decide
whether
or
not
they
want
to
sign
up
for
this.
So
they'll
do
that
for
science,
research
and
they'll.
Do
it
for
Global,
Scholars
and
I
think
that
they
might
do
it
for
the
startup
program
as
well.
A
A
Well,
our
counselors
know
that
there's
an
application
for
AP
Statistics
they're,
going
to
pull
up
this
page
they're,
going
to
go
to
the
math
page
they're,
going
to
show
the
student
where
the
link
is
and
they're
going
to
say
once
you
sign
up
for
AP
Statistics,
there's
an
application,
and
you
need
to
do
that
application.
But
it's
at
that
point
that
the
student
needs
to
take
the
reins
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
the
requirements
for
apsat
and
they
do
the
actual
applications.
This
is
our
Advanced
page.
A
This
part
of
the
advanced
website
is
going
to
be
used
in
academic
advising
meetings,
as
we
talk
to
students
about
possible
Pathways
course,
Pathways
for
particular
Majors
that
a
student
might
want
to
pursue.
So
what
we've
done
is
we
have
I
think
I
would
use
the
word
summarized
what
past
students
have
taken
at
Byron
Hills
if
they
have
applied
as
an
architecture,
major
okay.
So
what
we
did?
A
So
we
had
students
who
took
perspectives
of
literature
and
AP
English
12,
but
we
also
had
students
who
applied
as
an
architecture
major
with
English
12..
So
there's
a
range.
There
isn't
a
clear
pathway
here,
but
this
is
to
try
to
give
students
an
idea
if
they're
thinking
about
applying
what
courses
they
might
want
to
have
on
their
schedule.
A
The
electives
are
also
important.
So
for
something
like
architecture,
you
would
definitely
want
to
see
AP
Studio
Art.
You
would
definitely
want
to
have
a
portfolio
and
work
on
portfolio
development.
That's
something
that's
typically
required
for
an
architecture.
Major
colleges
are
not
an
exhaustive
list.
These
are
some
colleges
that
we
know
have
an
architecture
major.
They
are
some
of
the
ones
that
our
students
have
applied
to,
but
it
kind
of
just
gives
you
like
an
idea
of
some
of
the
colleges
out
there
that
a
student
could.
A
So
why
is
this
important
in
academic
advising
I
think
it
helps
focus
our
students
a
little
bit
on
some
coursework,
if
they're,
not
sure
or
if
they
have
to
make
a
decision
of
some
sort
about
what
course
to
take.
We
can
pull
this
up
and
say:
well,
listen.
Students
in
the
past
have
have
applied
with
these
courses.
This
might
be
a
nice
way
for
you
to
kind
of
think
about
your
your
high
school
coursework.
A
We
have
this
in
a
number
of
different
subject
areas
we're
looking
to
expand
that
this
year
and
if
you
have,
if
there
are
any
Majors
out
there,
that
you
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
do
this.
I
hope-
and
you
know
open
to
hearing
that
and
would
love
your
feedback.
What
we're
going
to
do
this
year
is
pay
closer
attention
to
what
students
are
saying,
they're
going
to
apply
as
if
they're,
applying
as
a
specific
major
and
make
sure
that
we
have
those
represented
in
future
years.
A
A
Even
if
you
don't
have
a
formal
tour
to
go
and
see
it
get
your
child
increase
their
exposure
to
college,
and
that's
really
what
you
want
to
do
so
that
when
we
start
to
meet
with
them-
and
we
start
to
say
things
like
you
know,
what's
important
to
you-
they're
like
they're,
not
like
I,
don't
know
what's
important
to
me
because
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
there
even
is
but
to
say
something
like
I.
Definitely
don't
want
to
ride
the
Subway
or
ride
the
T
between
my
classes.
A
Okay,
then
we're
not
doing
Boston
University
and
we're
not
doing
NYU.
So
that's
something
you
should
say.
Well,
that's
something
simple:
it's
like
yeah,
but
that
rules
out
yeah.
It
makes
a
big
difference
right.
Well,
I,
don't
want
to
be
a
flight
away
from
home
right.
I
want
to
be
within
driving
distance
to
figure
out.
A
Some
of
those
kind
of
key
things
are
really
important,
because
then
that
huge
list
of
colleges
starts
to
become
a
little
bit
smaller,
and
you
know
those
are
the
conversations
that
will
definitely
happen
starting
now
and
if
you're
a
junior,
but
as
parents,
sometimes
we're
asked
well.
What
can
you
do
to
help
support
your
child?
I?
Think
just
visiting
some
schools
and
getting
an
idea
of
what
you
know
your
child
likes
and
dislikes
is
a
great
way
to
support
them
earlier
on
as
well.
A
Well,
I
hope
the
takeaway
is
that
if
your
child
hasn't
signed
up
and
prefer
an
appointment
to
meet
with
their
counselor,
the
links
are
open
to
do
that
if
your
child
is
hesitant
to
or
who
thinks
they're
going
to
be
hesitant
to
make
that
appointment,
reach
out
to
us
as
a
counselor.
We
have
ways
about
meeting
with
your
child
and
we're
happy
to
do
that.
A
We
just
need
to
know
that
that
might
be
the
situation,
and
hopefully
your
child
is
going
to
be
much
more
informed
about
the
process
and
is
thinking
about
their
time
at
Iron.
Hill
is
very
holistically
and
that
we're
helping
them
get
the
courses
that
they
need
to
be
prepared
to
to
move
on
and
do
other
things.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
today.
Thank
you.
