COURSE CONTRACTS: All counselors will be assisting students with course selection entry March 8 - 12. Students will enter choices in computer labs during their math class. Students will also be able to receive advising from a counselor while in these labs, if they still have questions. Parents, we ask that if you have concerns regarding your student's course selections, to please wait until after Spring Break to contact the counselor. Remember that changes can be made to selections anytime before June 10th.

Questions about summer school and ECS/Dual Credit?
Upper course contracts should be completed as if your student is not going to attend summer classes. Once your student is enrolled in the summer course(s), s/he should take proof to the counselor so the schedule can be altered. AISD summer school information is available at the austinisd.org website!  Early College Start/Dual Credit information is available here, at the Counselors Corner and ECS/Dual Credit  sessions are being held in the college center...
For Parents:   March 4 at 12:00

CAREER SERIES

The Counseling Office is located in the southeast corner of the main administration building. Visitors to the campus must check in with identification at the main office. It is advisable to make an appointment with the counselor, or anyone you wish to see for that matter, to avoid having to wait or come back at a scheduled time. Should you have an emergency, please contact Kathy Ashburn at 414-7318 or the front office at 414-5247.

Bowie students may meet with their counselors before school, during both lunches, or after school.  Ms. Ashburn will schedule a time for their visit and give them the necessary call slip if the student has been unable to meet with the counselor at the above times. If at all possible, we do not want the students to miss class to visit with the counselor.

Parents should call or e-mail their child’s counselor directly if they have a need for a parent conference.  If you attend our evening parent meetings (at least seven this year!), and study the information we send home with your student, you may find that you have all of your questions answered.   The Bowie Counseling Staff would love to hear from you if you have any questions or concerns.
