Welcome to the TMHS Guidance Department
The TMHS Guidance Department is here to assist our students as they begin to plan for life after TMHS. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone in the department if you need questions answered or help with anything!
We have created this College Planning Guide which is especially useful for Juniors and Seniors, but younger students may also want to take a look so that they can get a jump start on their college plans.
Here are some more useful links:
Application for Employment (Work) Permit
Class of 2022 Senior Presentation – Sept 2021
Attention Seniors!! 2023 Scholarships !!
Now that you are halfway through your senior year and have begun sifting through your college acceptance letters, it is time to start thinking about scholarships. Many of the local donors have begun sending their applications in to the Guidance office, so stop by the Career Center and grab the list or check it out online here.
There is much more information and a few helpful links on the Scholarship page of this website!! Please head on over to that page and check it out!
It is extremely important that you pay attention to deadlines!!! Many scholarships require you to provide transcripts and/or recommendation letters. If you need these documents, you MUST let Mrs. Fronduto or your counselor know well BEFORE the deadline date. Make sure you build in enough time in for these requests. A few also require essays, financial documents, etc., so be sure you have everything before submitting.
It would be a good idea to pick up a book of stamps, some standard envelopes and a few large manila envelopes so that you are prepared for any applications that must be mailed through the Guidance office. Please pay attention to the mail pickup time when submitting applications that must be mailed through Guidance.
Filling out all these applications may seem like a lot of work, but it is well worth it if you can get even a little bit of help paying your college costs. And your parents will be very thankful!
Please see Mrs. Fronduto for questions or email Mrs. Whitehouse at pwhitehouse@tewksbury.k12.ma.us
Course Selections for 2023-24
It’s that time of year again that both faculty and students will be entering course selections into Aspen for next academic year. Prior to February break, students will receive guidance from our school counselors on the course selection process. Students will only be selecting and entering elective courses. All core courses are recommended and entered by the content teachers.
Counselors at the Wynn and High School will work closely with our students to provide instructions on how to enter their elective course choices. Our high school students will have an additional meeting with their school counselor. During this meeting, our counselors will review the student’s course selections, the transcript to date, their progress towards graduation and post-graduate plans.
Our TMHS guidance staff will be visiting all students (grades 9-11) to review the course selection process and relevant grade level information.
Our Wynn Guidance staff will work with students to input their elective courses for their freshman year.
Information for Students Needing Emotional Assistance
The TMHS School Counseling Department is here to support the social, emotional, and mental well-being of our students. While we cannot offer long-term therapy, we can help to connect students and families to available community resources. Please reach out to your assigned school counselor- we are here to help!
School counselors are not available to respond to any mental health crisis during school breaks. If you are in crisis, are experiencing a medical emergency, or are in danger or are feeling suicidal when school is not in session, please call 911 immediately.

Aspen Family Portal now open to Families of TMHS Students
The Aspen Family Portal is now available to parents of TMHS students!! If you wish to have your own Aspen Account, please use this link to place a request.
We will be providing only one account per household, so we ask that parents/guardians share the account information. If parents reside in different households, accommodations will be made to provide accounts for both parents.
If you have already requested an account, you should have received an email from Aspen with your log-in information. If you have not seen that email, please check your spam folder. It will come in from aspen-sysadmin@myfollett.com
