"Guidance from Guidance" for Junior Parents
Help, what should my student be focusing on now that my student is a junior?
The spring of junior year is when students will begin to think and discuss plans for after high school. If your student is planning to apply to 4 year schools this is the best time to start researching schools, sign up for admission testing, and start thinking about careers that interest them.
- Sites to conduct college searches: Naviance, College Match, Collegeboard big future, youvisit.com/education
- Best time to tour schools: February and April Vacation
- SAT/ACT: Sign up to take 1 SAT or ACT in the spring of your junior year. Check collegeboard.org or ACT.org for dates and registration information
Guidance counselors will be meeting with their juniors for one-on-one meetings throughout the spring. If you would like more information, have any questions, or would like to meet with your student's counselor for a college meeting please reach out to them directly!
