Libby will also be conferencing with middle school students after their 1st quarter report cards are distributed to
support struggling students. Documentation of their recovery plan will be mailed home as an early warning system
to communicate with parents and with intentions to prevent academic failure. In addition to individual counseling, small
group (Book Club), and campus-wide October dates/events, Libby will make every effort to pop into middle school
classes next week to encourage College Fair attendance and Mrs. Grace plans to have some college conversations
with her grade levels. Please join us in the Jacksonville Goes to College Week events to help promote a
campus-wide, college-going culture! This is certainly not something we can do alone and we know we can
count on you for support!

Thank
You
