Mrs. Dunnuck is the Director of School Counseling at Jonathan Law. Advocate News Editor Olivia Augustine interviewed Dunnuck about the upcoming course selection process for the 2022-2023 school year. 

Olivia Augustine: What is the process for course selection?

Mrs. Dunnuck: The process of course selection is four pronged. Students will meet with their teachers to discuss recommendations for next year. Students will also have access to the Virtual Elective Fair for Jonathan Law. Students are encouraged to watch and discover more about potential electives at Law.  After those conversations are completed and students have had the opportunity to view the elective fair, students will begin course selection through their powerschool accounts. There will be a finite period of time students will have access to course selection, so it is imperative for students to complete the process during that time. If students are struggling with course selection, they should reach out to their school counselor for assistance. Finally, students will begin meeting one on one with their school counselor to review course selections, iron out any issues and determine the selections made will be best suited to support their post high school plans

OA: When will students begin course selection?

MD: The course selection process will begin in approximately early February and will be finalized in the month of March.

OA:How long will students have to select their courses?

MD: Students will have about one and half weeks to make course selections.

OA: Where can students go to find which classes they need to take in order to graduate?

MD: Students can access their school counselor to see what courses they need for graduation or students can access the Program of Studies on the Milford Public Schools Website.

OA: What role does the school counselor play in course selection? 

MD: School counselors play a large role in the course selection process. They work with teachers and students in the recommendation process and meet individually with all students to help develop the best personalized plan for a course of study. Emphasis is put on post high school plans and finding ways to explore areas of study while supporting the long term plans of each student.
