Senior Information
As acceptance letters continue to trickle in, remember ...
"You can find happiness and success — not to mention brilliance and inspiration and lifelong friendships and mind-blowing authors and really good art and really bad coffee — on thousands of college campuses. The key ingredient is you. What you bring. Who you are when you get there. Who you are when you leave. You matter most in this equation."

You're Almost Halfway Through High School! Now What?
With your final two years of high school on the horizon, it's a great time to start thinking about what your future might look like. In October 2022, we plan to administer the PSAT (Preliminary SAT). If you want to take the PSAT, you will need to register with Student Services in the fall (more information to follow). The PSAT is a great way to practice the actual SAT. By taking the PSAT, you will have free personalized access to very useful college/career planning tools and SAT prep guides, such as Khan Academy and Big Future. We also recommend taking the SAT in the spring of your junior year and again the fall of your senior year. If you are currently a student with an IEP or a 504 Accommodation Plan and would like to use your accommodations on the PSAT or SAT, please contact your counselor to make sure you have already applied for your accommodations.
For those of you who applied to a CTE program at BOCES or an Early College program through SUNY Adirondack for next year, please make sure to keep up with your grades and attendance as the school year comes to an end!

Your First Year of High School is (Almost) Under Your Belt!!
It's hard to believe your first year of high school has come and is almost gone! Looking back on your transition to high school in a pretty unusual year, how do you feel it went? Are there things you should do differently as a 10th grader? Did you regularly attend your classes? What activities were you able to get involved in? Take some time to self-reflect ... it will help as you move forward with your academic career!
If your 9th grade year did not go as well as you had hoped, there is time to redeem yourself! Showing colleges/universities/employers an upward trend of academic success is so very important. On the other hand, if your 9th grade year went exactly as you had planned, it's important to continue with your strong academic performance over the next three years of high school!
For those of you who are interested in attending a CTE program at BOCES in 11th and 12th grade, please make sure you are performing to the best of your ability and that you are attending school on a regular basis. Stayed tuned for more information about a visit to BOCES during the second semester of your 10th grade year.
ENJOY YOUR SPRING BREAK!
