Schedule Changes

There will be NO student schedule changes for the first two weeks. The counselors will be working hard to balance classes and ensure all students have complete schedules during this time!

All student schedules were based on course requests. We make every effort to accommodate all requests, but in some instances, an alternate choice may be given.  We will not be able to make any schedule changes for electives or teacher choices.  If your child is not in the correct placement for a core class, please contact your counselor. 

Counseling Department Mission Statement

 It is the mission of the School Counseling Program of Alice Johnson Junior High School to recognize and respect the unique qualities of each student and guide all students toward academic, personal, social, and career success. By collaborating with other educators, the families of students, and members of the community, using a comprehensive guidance program, maintaining high expectations for all students, and addressing barriers to learning, we aim to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and attitude to become effective learners and productive members of their communities.
