The links below will take you to the surveys relevant to you. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to complete both surveys if you have students in both the elementary and the high/middle school. Several questions are the same, but there are things that are different about my work with elementary as with the middle and high school students.
Each survey shouldn't take more than about 5 minutes to complete.
GS-Elementary Parent Survey
GS-High/Middle School Parent Survey
Thanks in advance for your help with this! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be used to make the counseling program better and more successful in meeting student and parent needs.

LAUNCH Yourself Into Attending UND
LAUNCH is a program that has been developed by Lake Region State College (LRSC) and the University of North Dakota (UND) as an alternative opportunity for students that are not yet eligible for admission into UND, but have the ability & desire to attend UND.
This program is housed on the UND campus in Grad Forks, ND. While students are actually enrolled through Lake Region, they live on the UND campus and participate in the many campus activities and student services available to UND students. If students complete 30 credits and mainitain at 2.5 GPA while in the LAUNCH program, they are then able to apply for admission to UND as a transfer student.
The LAUNCH program provides students personal attention by providing on-campus advisors to meet with each student on an individual basis and holds monthly group meetings and also provides small class sizes.This helps to propel students through their first semester with intensive advising and academic support.
If you are interested in attending UND but do not quite meet the requirements for admission, I encourage you to look into this opportunity! This may be your window of opportunity!!! :)
For more information contact Cindy Rerick at cindy.rerick@lrsc.edu or 701-777-4901
