Announcement Message

  • See your COUNSELOR REG ASSIGNMENTS (also linked at the bottom of the Counselor Contact page)

    • Staff A and Staff B mean the positions are not yet filled so the department is covering those counselors internally. You may email Gwen Lin at ling1@sfusd.edu and Cheryl Fong at fongc3@sfusd.edu for any emergency situations that may arise while we work on filling the open counseling positions.  

  • SUBMITTING SUMMER TRANSCRIPTS

    • Review and submit summer non-SFUSD transcripts on this Google Form. Counselors are working on schedules the first two weeks of school and will not be able to review these until week 3 (beginning 9/3/2024). Students will receive a response back when your counselor has reviewed your submission. 

  • SCHEDULING

    • Week before the first day of school, 8/12/2024-8/16/2024: Counselors are finalizing schedules before school starts and scheduling transfer students. Therefore, counselors are NOT responding to individual requests to change schedules or email requests to fix schedules. 

      • Students are to attend their assigned classes unless they receive a new schedule from their counselors. Failing to attend scheduled classes puts a student in danger of being dropped from Lowell because the student will be classified as a “No Show.”
    • Week 1 of school, 8/19/2024-8/23/2024: ALL students must attend Reg to get a physical copy of their most up-to-date schedule (more accurate than StudentVUE). 
      • Students complete a physical SCHEDULE ERROR FORM for errors (i.e. missing graduation requirement, wrong course placement, not having a full schedule) and turn it in to the front of the Counseling Office by 2:45 pm on Wednesday, 8/21/2024. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FORM CAREFULLY! Forms are available in Reg and in front of the Counseling Office. 
        • Reg will be held as the first class Monday-Thursday of this week. Counselors will either send a new schedule to the students’ Reg OR send a pass to the student to meet during the day. Students who do not attend Reg may miss their appointment or updates on their requests. 
        • Students report to the Counseling Office during their appointment time to see their counselors. They must show their pass to the Administrator or Staff located at the door in order to gain entry.
    • Week 2 of school, 8/26/2024-8/30/2024: Students whose scheduling issues were not related to errors can complete a SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUEST FORM and turn it to the Shield & Scroll members in front of the Counseling Office by 2:45 pm on Wednesday, 8/28/2024. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FORM CAREFULLY! Forms are available in Reg and in front of the Counseling Office.
