Guidance Overview

The Aptos High School Guidance Department provides information to students and parents through frequent presentations, student conferences, evening programs, and numerous publications. We provide assistance in the planning of a student's education and work with parents, an essential component in their student's educational progress. Below is an outline of the support our Department offers.

The objectives of the Aptos High School Guidance Program are twofold:

1) To help each student earn a high school diploma
2) To help each student prepare for college and careers

The basics of the Guidance Program:

1) Informational meetings with all freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors throughout each year
2) Development of a four-year academic plan based upon post-high school goals
3) Annual parent conferences
4) Financial aid workshops
5) In-Class Presentations for Junior and Seniors
6) College planning handbooks for juniors and seniors
7) Monitoring progress towards graduation
8) Intervention meetings with at-risk students
9) Post-high school planning beginning freshman year and adjusted throughout high school

Additional Information concerning guidance, course selections, and college planning may be found in the following resources:

1) Student and Parent scheduling conferences
2) Mariner Manual
3) Student Planners
4) Career Center with web based and printed resources about colleges, armed forces, careers and aptitude testing
