 * __ Single Plan for Student Achievement Planning Report for 2010-2011 __**

The Guidance Team PLC goal for the last two years has been to increase the number of students graduating from ECVHS (site goal #4), and to increase the number of students who are A-G eligible upon graduation. We also have been working hard to have seniors come back for a 5th year of classes so that they may complete graduation requirements and receive a diploma. Along with this goal, the Guidance Team has made efforts to increase the number of students taking honors or AP courses (site goal #5), as well as to increase awareness among all students of post-secondary options for college and/or career readiness.
 * 1. What were your successes in meeting your team goals and supporting the Site Goals?**

We need to maintain our progress in meeting the above goals. We need to be sure that counselors are able to review transcripts on a regular basis, and the Guidance Team as a whole needs to be able to make regular classroom presentations, offer parent informational nights, offer field trips to students, and ensure a college/career planning educational aspect at every grade level.
