College Information
Now is the time to familiarize yourself with the websites of the colleges your child is seriously considering, and start the application process. Be sure to check for scholarship deadlines and requirements becuase they are different for all schools. If you child is interested in a specific school, they should be sure to let Mrs. Dixon know so that she can be on the look out for any information that comes through her office.
Additionally, many colleges will hold preview days during the fall semester. We will be sharing this information out in the College & Scholarship Newsletter that will be shared with you soon. If your student attends a preview day, please have he or she bring documentation to school from his or her attendance, so that it may be coded correctly in PowerSchool.
Free College Application Week is typically held mid-October. Look for more information about this in the next newsletter!
