Seniors should be sure to sign up for the sessions they would like to attend. If students do sign up, then they will be guaranteed a spot in that session. If they do not sign up, then they will be placed in sessions for the day.
Parent Transitions Meeting / Presentation
There was an opportunity for counselors to discuss the family transition when a son or daughter enters college life. The session was well attended with many good questions and concerns addressed.
Best of luck to all our test takers in the next couple of weeks ahead!
