Announcements From the Guidance Department:
Dear seniors,
Hope exams went well. When you have some down time this week, please be sure to update your Naviance accounts to reflect the college and university admissions results. Were you accepted? Deferred? Waitlisted?
You can do this in the “Colleges I am Applying To” list. This means that you will need to update each college with the individual admissions result. If you already know where you plan to enroll, you can also then choose the school you are going to under "college I am attending." Again, you do this by going to "Colleges I am Applying To" and editing the results.
As you continue to hear back from schools about admissions decisions, please remember those who have helped you with your application and are also eager to hear your news. Think: your counselors and teachers who work closely with you and spend a lot of time and energy developing your recommendation letters because we care so much about you and your future!
The North Shore Medical Center will begin a 7 week program on Raising Resilient Teens. For more information, please click the link below.
