Counseling Department Carol Kirk 573-422-3364 ckirk@mariesr1.k12.mo.us Welcome to the Maries R-I Guidance Department Website! My name is Mrs. Carol Kirk and I am pleased to be your School Counselor. My office and email is always open to your children and you as parents/guardians. Email works nicely! We are off to a great year! Feel free to contact me if I can be of help. Please continue to contact teachers through email also if you have specific questions about their class (es). Continue to use the computerized “Information Now” system to keep abreast of the academic progress of your child. In grades 7 – 12, we are checking these every Monday, to help insure success of all students. As you may know; if a student is experiencing a failing grade; tutoring and/or extra help is recommended on that given week in order to raise performance. Daily we are working with students to maximize their academic ability and develop their career potential. Thank you for your support and let’s together make this a wonderful year for all. Sincerely, Carol Kirk Counselor What’s New in the Counselor’s Office!!!!! (This will always be changing so check often!) SENIORS!!!! Seniors who are planning to go to college you are HIGHLY encouraged to complete the FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.gov ASAP!!! The online application is smarter than ever with a customized experience for every applicant. The simplified home page, and the ability for applicants to access their IRS tax information, plus more changes all add up to a smoother, more intuitive experience. The federal student aid is predicted to be the highest yet; of course higher education is also at an all time high. Regardless, file early so you are eligible for all state and federal “FREE” monies!!! Just A Few New Things (updated 11/18/2010) Financial Aid Seminar Dec. 13^th, 2010 More Information!
