Sign-up for free test prep here: https://www.khanacademy.org/join/S4K2P7NP
Khan Academy is a free online resource that allows students to learn anytime, anywhere, with material that is uniquely appropriate for them. Students can explore new topics and strengthen their skills by doing practice problems and tutorials. As students learn, their activity feeds into reports that show important information such as strengths and weaknesses in a particular concept.
If you are having trouble registration there is a step by step guide here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAEqSQD1Nr8/share/preview?token=11pYIp9Imb0QYmotgKU2ng&role=EDITOR&utm_content=DAEqSQD1Nr8&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton

GHS FAFSA Night
Creating an FSA ID
We strongly recommend you create an FSA ID, a username and password combination, that allows you to sign your FAFSA® form electronically. Your FSA ID also can be used to access the myStudentAid app, sign loan contracts, and access certain information online. While you can get your FSA ID as you’re completing the FAFSA form online, getting it ahead of time and using it to begin your FAFSA form on fafsa.gov or on the myStudentAid mobile app cuts down on errors and delays. Find out how to get an FSA ID and what to do if you forgot your FSA ID.
Important note: If you’re a dependent student, one of your parents whose information is reported on the FAFSA form will also need an FSA ID so that he or she can sign your application electronically. If your parent doesn’t have a Social Security number (SSN), your parent won’t be able to create an FSA ID (which requires an SSN). This means you’ll have to select the option to print a signature page when you get to the end of your FAFSA form on fafsa.gov (this option isn’t available in the myStudentAid app).

College and Career Readiness Liaison
My ultimate goal is to support students and their families in developing each student's plan for after High School. I can assist in looking at colleges and universities, trade programs, and other career options.
I will be holding workshops throughout the year for both students and their families. They will include Career Fairs, resume writing, interview skills, the FAFSA process, College Fairs, and college admissions support.
