Grade 9: Freshmen Seminar continues… This past week included “Library Tech Bootcamp” and next week they will have sessions on “Citizenship” with the principals. They will also have a Naviance Introduction and sign-in session.
Grade 10:Sophomore Seminar will work in a progression to first explore students strengths, then what people with those strengths do for careers, then the education involved to get to those careers, and finally what preparation is needed from 10th grade onward in achieving those goals. This leads to the important task of having the 10th graders and their parents discuss, plan, and sign up for their 11th grade classes.
Grade 11: Juniors should begin attending College Visits. See Naviance for the most updated list. Students will continue working with Naviance and fine tuning their future university plans.
Grade 12: Seniors should make an appointment with their counselor to discuss their individual application timeline, etc. The name of the game is “Organization!” It will be a busy semester one. To answer additional questions about college applications, Counselors will hold “university lab” every Monday from 2:10 to 3:10 in room 203 (Aug. 25 – Nov. 24).
Seniors applying to the US, must attend the Common App “Party” on Tuesday, September 2 at 1:15 in the MPB.
