A PCCR is a Plan for College and Career Readiness meeting. We like to meet with each 8th and 9th grade student and their parent at least one time every school year. The meetings last about 30 minutes. In general, we look at how the student is doing academically, emotionally and socially. We evaluate and set new goals to keep the student moving forward toward their life goals. We celebrate each student's unique contributions to our school and community. You will receive an email with directions on how to set up an appointment through the myDsd system. If there is not a date and/or time that will work for you, please call our office at 801-402-7108 to schedule a convenient time. It is our goal to meet with as many parents as we can.  You can join us by phone if needed. 

7th grade group PCCRs take place at the beginning of the school year. We meet with the 7th graders first so we can check in with them and see how the transition from elementary school to junior high is going.

7th Grade PCCR Presentation

• We talk about our role as school counselors.

• We discuss ways to be successful academically as they transition to 8 classes.

• We review the Cub Code of Conduct.

• We discuss relationship skills, conflict management, and resources to help make their transition to junior high successful.

This PCCR really helps the counselors get to know each student a little better.

8th grade individual PCCRs take place in September & October. We meet with students individually at this time so we can make sure students understand that next year is high school.
