Things are really beginning to gear up around here for next year as we look with excitement and anticipation as to what God has in store for us; next year’s schedule of classes is coming together and registration will begin soon!
As the senior class also begins to look towards next year they have a whole different focus. Here are some reminders;
• FAFSA deadline is March 2nd –get started today!
• College Application deadlines
• Request transcripts to go to colleges
• Scholarship applications
• Senior picture frames past due to the front office
• Senior pictures
• Senior graduation announcements will arrive soon if you ordered through Jostens
• Also Cap and Gown orders will arrive from Jostens as well
• Senior trip (for some)
If you have any questions regarding any of your students academic needs or questions I can help you with regarding the FAFSA or college applications please do not hesitate to call me at school.
As the junior class also begins to wind down the year they should also be mindful of events to come. It is my recommendation that juniors who plan on attending a four year college begin to prepare for the college entrance SAT test by taking it at least one time by the end of their junior year. To register for this test go to collegeboard.com and follow the links to register for the SATs. When the results come the student is usually very motivated to begin studying and preparing for the next round of testing in October and November of their senior year. One way to prepare is to purchase an SAT prep book from your local book store or online, also on collegeboard.com the student can sign up for a ‘question of the day’. Also puzzle and brain-teaser books are excellent ways to develop skills in problem solving which are helpful on the math portion of the test. As for the reading comprehension – what can I say but read, read, read! This will develop vocabulary and sentence structure.
This summer for the juniors should also be a time to visit and have a tour of any colleges of interest. Their senior year will be here before you know it!
Sincerely,
Jean Huff
