    Hello 8th grade families! This is an exciting time of year as we start talking about high school and exploring different options. The ½ûÂþÌìÌà lottery will be open from November 13-December 16th.  Hosford counselors will be visiting 8th grade social studies classes November 7th and 8th to go over the focus options available, discuss neighborhood schools, and do an overview of what to expect in high school. 
     
    Resources/Tips:
