Juniors:
If you have not had a final check in with your counselor, next Wednesday, the 26th, would be a perfect time to do so!! Even if it’s just 15 minutes. Or maybe it’s longer so you can discuss your latest essay draft or research questions. **A gentle reminder: college counselors will not be available over the summer, so talk to them now!!**
Parent Coffee Survey:
Parents! It was a tough year and we were not able to hold the Parent Coffee’s in-person and had to go virtual. We would love your feedback on the Parent Coffee series and what else you might want to see covered. Please take a moment and answer this short survey. The survey will close May 22.
Summer Programs:
If you are wondering what to do during the summer, check out our summer program opportunities list on the College Counseling Google site: Summer Programs
College Virtual Visits:
There are no more ISB college virtual visits, but that doesn’t mean you can’t virtually visit a college or university! Please go directly to the website of the university you are interested in learning more about and see what they have to offer. Remember, you are shopping for colleges, so take the time to check them out, see what they are about and if they are the right fit. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions to make sure they are good enough for you! From TIE Online: University Visits in a Post-Covid World?
