Allatoona School Counseling Newsletter- March 2021
Attention Class of 2021
Do you have a plan for after high school?
On the morning of Thursday, February 25th, seniors that are on campus took a survey in homeroom. For those at home, we also need you to take the survey. Click the link below titled, "Senior To Do," and fill it out please.
This survey is just asking you what your plans are for after high school. Even if you don't know what you are doing, please complete it so we can reach out to you with resources.
Have you been accepted to college, joined the military, committed to an apprenticeship program? Have you received scholarship money?
If so, we want to know. Using the link at the bottom of the Senior To Do handout, please upload copies of your acceptance letters and/or scholarship award letters.
Please upload ALL scholarships, even if you are not planning to use them. We want to be able to brag about how much money you guys have been awarded in schoarship money.
Still looking for scholarships?
You will find all local and national scholarships on Naviance. We have started posting the local scholarships such as the Turner Cockrell Scholarship, Pickett's Mill PTSA, McClure PTSA, etc.
Directions are attached to help you locate the scholarships in Naviance.
