College Coffee #2

Thank you to the 57 parents that attended this Coffee about standardized testing.  This meeting touched on different standardized tests and for different countries.  See the attached for the PowerPoint.  The agenda for the remaining College Coffees will come out next week.  The next College Coffee will be November 5.  Topic to be announced.

College and Attributes Day

The entire High School student body participated in Thursday’s College and Attributes Day.  In reference to College Counseling… the Grade 11’s had sessions on Cialfo (sign up) and a “Blind Taste Test” workshop.  Ask your son or daughter what they did during this session!! The Grade 12’s had two sessions with their College Counselor.  The first session was general announcements and specifics about Early applications (Oct. 15, Nov. 1 & Nov. 15).  The students also used the time as a work session (college applications, essays, research, etc.)  The second senior session was a time for College Counselors to meet individually with students as they once again had a work session!!  The seniors did a great job and we believe they appreciated the dedicated “work” time for college applications.

PSAT 11

Grade 11 students will take PSAT on Wednesday October 16.  Those students will be pre-registering on Tuesday October 8 at 1:10.  If students want to OPT OUT of taking the PSAT 11, they need to complete a form with parent signature.  Students should come to the HS counseling center to discuss this with their College Counselor and get the form.
