We are asking current 9 th and 10 th graders to do the same. Counselors are often asked to submit the names of students who may be qualified to receive awards or honors. For those students whose information is in the school records, finding someone who qualifies is easy. For others, counselors not having this information may mean a missed opportunity. Please take some time to put together a resume of school and community activities and personal interests.
Many word processing software programs also include resume formats.
It need not be perfect since it is for your counselor s use, but please get it done and in your counselor s hands before the end of the school year. This also gives you a headstart on the more formal college or employment resume you will need later in high school. Each year, many of our students attend summer school for enrichment, make up credit, or to earn additional credits. The Avon Public Schools summer school brochure is being prepared for mailing as this is being written and should be in your hands shortly. For other courses, be aware that many of our neighboring communities also offer summer programs.
