11th Grade Conferences

11th Grade Conferences

  • 11th Grade Conferences – In January, February, and March, all 11th grade students will have individual meetings with their counselors to focus on their specific college and career plans. If you are new to the process or need a refresher, parents are encouraged to attend this meeting with their student.  If you are an experienced parent who has been through this process multiple times, do not feel obligated to schedule a meeting as counselors will touch base with all students on their caseload.  If interested in joining your child, you can schedule your meeting during select days between January 12th and January 30th by using your counselor’s Microsoft Bookings link below or by contacting Ms. Nawalany dnawalany@dasd.org or Ms. McBride cmcbride@dasd.org in the WEST Counseling Office. We suggest that you and your child discuss a time that minimizes the loss of class time, such as study hall or lunch. There will be limited evening hours offered on January 14th, 20th, 22nd, and 28th to better accommodate family schedules.  Refer to your counselor’s specific schedule to see which nights they have available. 
    1. Ms. Farnesi (last names A – Ch): Book time with Farnesi, Susanne
    2. Ms. Curran (last names Ci – Fre): Book time with Curran, Danielle
    3. Mrs. Stephens (last names Fri – Joh): Book time with Stephens, Karen
    4. Mr. Findora (last names Joi – McG): Book time with Findora, Robert

  • Junior Conference Survey – Prior to the 11th grade conference, please have your student complete this short survey regarding their post-secondary plans – 2025-26 Junior Conference Survey.  We look forward to partnering with you as we guide your child in the process of selecting and applying to college, trade, and technical schools.  The survey will also be posted as an assignment on Schoology on the Class of 2026 page.
  • Parent Brag Sheet – Part of the college and career process for the counselor involves writing letters of recommendation.  If you would like to share information regarding your student that you feel is important to include in their letter of recommendation, please complete our Parent Brag Sheet.
