we have counseling staff available to work with students to fill out the fafsa, the federal student aid forms, college applications, job applications. we work on interviewing techniques and strategies for those students who desire to go into the world of work. all of those wrap around services that students need, that is what our counseling staff is busy doing each day. >> very similar i would say flexibility in terms of making sure students are getting the classes that they need and changing that if they are not on track with what they need is huge and often overlooked strategy that you don't want people looking down the path that they don't need to work on. linking students with community resources that they need as well as paying individual personal attention. we have an exceptional counseling staff at the school that i'm talking about here today. >> there is a national movement for school counselors to earn the turf of college and career readyiness. if your counselors have not signed on, please have them do so. thank you.
