School Counselors keep track of all student’s standard units and verified credits within their caseload on a ‘Credit Count Sheet’. This information is updated at the beginning of the school year and maintained throughout the year.  Individual meetings are held each year with students to review their credits earned toward graduation as well as to review their SOL credits. 

School Counselors welcome the opportunity to share this information with you. Please call to schedule an appointment to review this important information with your child’s counselor at 226-8709.
