COMMON APPLICATION WORKSHOP FOR UPCOMING SENIORS
SENIOR FALL MEETING
Every upcoming senior student (Class of 2015) is strongly encouraged to sign up for a meeting during the months of September or October with his/her counselor. During the meeting we will review the student's transcript, discuss any credit deficiencies and agree on a plan to make up credit(s).
The senior meeting serves to develop a course of action regarding post-high school graduation plans. If these plans include higher education, some of the topics to be reviewed are:
- Standardized testing requirements and timing
- Application dates, deadlines and requirements
- Finalizing a list of schools
- Campus visits
- Paying for college
- Scholarships
Parents, please talk with your student about the importance of making an appointment. Parents are welcome to attend this meeting.
Kennedy Catholic is committed to partnering with you and your student in order to provide information that is relevant and current. Our goal is for every Kennedy Catholic graduate to have a plan in place for when they graduate in June 2015. It will be here before we know it!
