May Academic and Career Planning Reminders

Wednesday, May 1, 2024

Hello Raccoon Community!

Just like that, it’s May and we are beginning to wrap up the school year. It’s easy to look ahead and get excited for summer, but it’s important that we stay committed to our goals so that we finish the year strong and can truly enjoy our summer vacation. To help ensure we finish the year strong, please review the updates outlined below. 

As always you can reach out directly at CurtisJ@oasd.org to me or your counselor if you have any questions!

I will see you around campus!
