College Applicaton Week
Novi's College Application Week will be October 19-23. All seniors are encouraged to complete at least one application or speak with their counselor about post-secondary plans before Halloween. Do you plan to attend a 4 year university, community college, explore trade schools, research apprenticeship programs, join a branch of the military? What are your plans? We want to know!
We would like all students to take some time to evaluate their plans and research schools or careers that could be a good fit. Here's how you can support this initiative:
- Wear college/career gear the entire week of October 19.
- Initiate conversations with your peers about their plans following high school. It's never too early to start thinking about post-secondary plans.
- Make a point to share with others why you're wearing college gear. We want this to be meaningful!
- Attend college and military visits. Colleges are holding virtual events this year. Here is the link that is regularly updated as colleges add: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vgbz6nXOEFVgWVMSjOyjaaS5FdjIrKkE8SqhQ4GFztw/edit
- Ask where your classmates have applied. If they have not applied, encourage them to do so. Counselors are always available to assist students if they need help.
- Counselors are here to help! If you or a friend are feeling lost about your post-secondary plans, please reach out to us!
Please see the attached Senior Meeting packet attached at the bottom of this update for further information.
