Bearkat Counselor's Corner

Parents, the time is already here to prepare for school!
New to Garden City Schools? Students, want to change your schedule? Parents you can enroll your child or make a schedule change the week of Aug. 1-5. There are no changes in the master schedule this year, but remember you can only have one schedule change per semester and the change will need to be completed at the beginning of the school year.
Attention: Juniors and Seniors
If you are interested in taking concurrent classes, then you need to make sure you meet the criteria.
1. On your TAKS results they identify if you are exempt from taking the THEA test and in what area. Look back at your results. The results will state THECB Standard for higher education readiness if you are exempt from the test. In the area of ELA, you would have needed a scale score of 2200 and scored a 3 on your writing. In math, you would need a scale score of 2200.
2. If you need to take the THEA test, contact Howard College and take it in the areas where you want to take concurrent classes. You will also need to take the test and pass it before school begins or you will not be able to enroll in concurrent classes.
3. When I get the registration packets for the concurrent classes from Howard College, I will send them with the students, and I will need those returned to my office no later than by August 18.
I am looking forward to working with you this year.
