Hopefully everyone is settling in to being back in school mode. It seems that students are getting into the swing of school and university counselors are busy meeting with students, already reviewing essays, and talking about application lists.
Next week will be busy for seniors and senior families with Senior Seminar beginning and the Grade 12 Family University Night:
Grade 12 Family University Night will be on Thursday, 24 August at 6:30 PM in the CCT. We look forward to kicking off the university applications process with seniors then!
Grade 12 students will meet with their university counselor in the first Senior Seminar on Thursday, 24 August.
All grade 12 students must schedule a Senior Family Conference with their parents and their university counselor before any university application can be processed. Conferences may be scheduled during the student’s free period or after school starting on Friday, 25 August. Please speak with your child about the best time to get this meeting on the calendar.
Seniors should have already been working on their university essays; they are encouraged to share those with their university counselor and set up a time to meet with their counselor to review those. Every senior should see their counselor on a regular basis when they are in the application season!
There are no university visits scheduled for August but there are virtual events that students can join. Virtual events can be found here.
