Repeat Announcement: Welcome to Mrs. Sandi Engler, HS Counselor
Mrs. Engler joined us this week as our second permanent High School counselor. Mrs. Engler comes to us from ENKA schools in Istanbul, Turkey, where she served as university counselor. Mrs. Engler is virtual through December 17, and then in-person starting in Semester 2, January 10, 2022. In November and December, Mrs. Engler will transition into the role of comprehensive counselor working alongside Mrs. Killmer and Dr. Curtis, as below:
12th grade
Dr. Curtis will remain as the full time 12th grade university counselor through December 17. Dr. Curtis will maintain responsibility for all college application processes during this time. Mrs. Engler will partner with Dr. Curtis in all college application processes. In addition, Mrs. Engler will meet with all 12th grade students over the next few weeks. Starting January 10th, Mrs. Engler will become the comprehensive counselor for all 12th graders. Dr. Curtis will remain on staff in a consultant role to support all 12th graders and Mrs. Engler in the college application process through June 2022.
10th and 11th grades
Mrs. Engler is the comprehensive counselor for half of the 10th grade and half of the 11th grade going forward. All students transitioning to being with Mrs. Engler received emails this week. As Mrs. Engler builds relationships with her students, she will be working closely with Mrs. Killmer to support each student. For any immediate, in-person support that may be required, Mrs. Killmer will be available through December 17 for all students, as she has been so far this year.
9th grade
Mrs. Killmer will remain as the 9th grade counselor for all 9th graders through the end of the 2021-22 school year.
At the start of Semester 2 on January 10th, Mrs. Engler will fully step into all roles for grades 10, 11 and 12 as she begins in-person in Chennai. Those roles are detailed in the table here.
Dr. Curtis will remain on staff to consult with Mrs. Engler and Mrs. Killmer through the end of the school year in June.
Sincerely,
