On February 10th counselors will go into Post-Secondary Prep classes for Junior Meetings. These meetings begin the conversation about students' plans for after high school. Students will leave with information about applying to college, college visits, taking and retaking the SAT/ACT, financial aid and scholarships, apprenticeships, military options, and much more!
Please take this opportunity to review the Junior Presentation with your student and continue this important conversation.

SCHOOL ZONE SAFETY TIPS
Unintentional pedestrian injuries are the fifth leading cause of injury-related death in the United States for children ages 5 to 19. Teenagers are now at greatest risk. Teens have a death rate twice that of younger children and account for half of all child pedestrian deaths.
Drivers, please watch out for students near school zones. Students, pay attention when crossing roads and make eye contact with driver before crossing. Keep your head up and phones down.
Thank you for keeping our Wildcats SAFE!
