Due to a change at the high school level for the freshman orientation meeting, and course scheduling process, the KMS G-Talk conferences have been rescheduled to better align with the new dates selected by District Office and Germantown High School.

***If you have previously signed up for a G-talk conference, I apologize for the inconvenience, but you will need to select a new day and time from our updated dates.  All previous conference dates have been cancelled and YOU MUST select a new date.  The new G-Talk conference dates are January 9th and 10th.***

KMS School Counselors lead 30-minute sessions where 8th graders share their plan for their educational goals, academic success, and career development with their parents and guardians.

Parental involvement in this transition is crucial for your child’s successful transition to high school.

This conference:
• Is a 30-minute meeting
• Identifies future dreams and evaluates educational and career goals
• Builds a positive dialogue between school and home
• Shares information about students’ strengths, interests, abilities, and potential
• Shares information and resources available through the school and community
• Assists students and parents to manage the educational and career planning process
• Assists students to transition to the next phase of their lives

Our goal is to create a plan for each student’s academic success and career development.

• Students take responsibility for their future
• Students and parents/guardians share their thoughts and feelings
• Parents are more informed and involved
• Students and parents/guardians are motivated to be involved earlier in post-secondary planning
• Student apprehension about school and future goals is reduced
• A connection is developed between school, parents/guardians, and students to assure academic success
