Chief Points is a newletter targeted at providing information to students about topics pertinent to their education and future.
College Applications
Hey Class of 2018! Don't forget the goal I gave you of getting your college apps done by Thanksgiving!
If you are struggling to get started or want to apply to a college or two from my office with my support you are welcome to do so! Just schedule an appointment with me: http://bit.ly/bookmrsd
Students who have taken advantage of booking time with me to complete their applications have reported that it was a good value of their time and left them relieved and able to tackle future applications.
Senior Shoutouts
What is a Senior Shoutout?
Fall of senior year is notoriously a bag of mixed feelings; excitement that you are a senior, a twinge of sadness that your time at Lakeland will be ending, fear of the future and, most predominantly, stress of college applications! The good news is that many of you have completed college applications, signed with a branch of the military, made arrangements for a job or are preparing for some additional post graduation training etc. The better news is that some of you have already received acceptances! Senior shoutout is a public recognition of your accomplishment to our larger community.
How to Shoutout!!!
The senior shoutout is the ultimate selfie and let's face it....you guys are experts at selfies! We are excited to showcase college (military etc.) acceptances but want to do so on your terms. This year's senior shoutouts will be on Flipgrid. This will be a public grid so that your parents and our community can witness your accomplishments. The grid will be shared frequently on Facebook and Twitter to showcase your selfie shoutouts!
Guidelines:
- You can record up to 90 seconds of video
- Students can import a video on both computers and mobile devices. After they select the green plus button, there is a green import icon. Select that and follow the prompts to import an MP4, MOV, or WEBM video file.
- You can opt NOT to record your own face or voice and instead choose to hold up a sign or acceptance letter for the video.
- You are welcome to be creative as long as you understand Guideline #5!
- Responses deemed as inappropriate will be removed. I think you are old enough to define inappropriate but if you struggle with the concept, feel free to email me to check before uploading to the grid.
- You must be fully clothed (shirt and pants required). See guideline #5
- Remember your audience; parents, teachers and community members will see your excitement. See guideline #5
- Show your pride. Sing, dance, do a jig, showcase college gear. Show how excited you are to be accepted!
- Ready to go? Either enter this code: 85d6dc in the Flipgrid app (available on IOS and Google Play) on your device (much easier for recording video) or click the "I Got Into College" link below to access on your computer.
