WHO IS MY COUNSELOR?

As you enter high school, each of you is assigned a personal counselor. Most of you are placed with a
counselor based on the first letter of your last name. You will see your counselor's name in Power School
when you view your schedule.

Your counselor is the one person at Glenbrook North who normally works with you during the entire time
you are in high school. Teachers, coaches, and even club sponsors change from time to time, but as much
as possible we try to keep you with the same counselor for all four years.

What do you do with a counselor now that you have one? Each of you will see your counselor to
accomplish tasks that are required by the school, such as receiving orientation information, registering for
classes, planning your high school curriculum, getting college and career information, and taking special
tests.

Listed below are some other reasons that students often come in to see their counselors. Keep in mind
that your counselor is here to help you be the best student that you can be. No one can think very clearly
about a math equation or remember a World Language if there is a big problem bothering him/her.
Counselors are trained to help students deal with many problems that can arise during high school. You
may have a quick question, a long story to tell, or simply need support problem-solving a difficult
situation. Either way, your counselor is here to listen and to help you find answers to your questions.

    2.   Need a schedule change
    3.   Having difficulty with teachers, parents, friends, or family
    4.   Want help communicating with parents

SOURCES OF HELP WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN SCHOOL
TEXT-A-TIP
This anonymous service allows students to text a local licensed/certified mental health professional who is
on-call 24/7 and can provide help for them or perhaps a friend that they feel is in need. To use the
services, students simply text "GBN Help" and their message to 1.844.823.5323, and then will receive an
immediate response providing further guidance. This is completely anonymous; the counselor can't see
names or phone numbers, so students can feel absolutely safe reaching out for the help they need. In
addition, a new Text-A-Tip app is also available.

SPARTAN CONCERN FORM
Fill out the anonymous Spartan Concern Form to report concerns regarding the safety of students.
Concerns reported via this online form on days when school is not in session, or after school hours, WILL
NOT be seen until the following school day. If your concern requires immediate attention during the
school day, contact Glenbrook North directly by calling 847.509.2462. If your concern is an emergency or
requires immediate attention after the school day dial 911.

guess what? Yup, you got it...THAT'S OKAY, TOO! Tell us a little bit about what's going on and we will be

HOW DO GRADES WORK?
The numerical equivalent of the letter grade system at Glenbrook North High School is as follows:

A=90-100
B=80-89
C=70-79
D=60-69
F=0-59

All grades, including final grades, are calculated by teachers through the averaging of percentages rather
than through the numerical averaging of letter grades. Once the percentage is determined, it is translated
into a letter grade according to the above table. Letter grades are given a numerical weighting for grade
point averaging as follows:

A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=0

Each number except an “F” grade is increased by one point for honor courses for academic grade point.
Important Note: Only the final semester grade is recorded on a student’s permanent record.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR HONOR ROLL?

After each semester, students will be selected for the honor roll if they earn a 3.3 all-subject grade point
average (GPA):

      Grade                Honors, Advanced Placement & Academy                        All other classes
