    Annual Calendar

    An Annual Calendar is a tool that outlines key activities, events, and services offered by the school counseling program throughout the year. It helps parents stay informed about important dates, such as parent workshops, student guidance lessons, college/career events, and social-emotional support programs. By providing a clear schedule, the calendar ensures parents can actively engage in their child's academic and personal development.
