Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year!!!!! Here's an interesting academic fact to start a new school year. Did you know dictionary publishers delete words from dictionaries as words become obsolete? It happens all the time! This year Ross and Cleveland City Schools are deleting an obsolete word from our vocabularies. The now obsolete word is "Guidance." Replace that old, worn out, dilapidated word with new, fresh, exciting names. Instead of "Guidance Counselor" say "School Counselor." Instead of "Guidance Class" say "CAPS Class." While this is just a small change in verbiage, it reflects larger changes that our system counselors are making to stay relevant to students and parents. Watch for the changes, and practice, practice, practice your new words. :)     ~Mrs. Emily Elliott
