NSHS Counselor Connection
2019-2020 Quarter Two Edition
Adopt A Family 2019
For the 20th consecutive year, NSHS is participating in the Greater Woonsocket Area Adopt a Family program. This drive was started by a former NSHS student to help those in need. Important details are below.
• We will meet with all seniors during advisory on November 20th and with juniors during advisory on November 21st. Gifts will be due back to the high school on Monday, December 2nd with delivery to adopt a family the next week.
• Please provide only new clothing and toys. We are unable to accept used items of any kind.
• Please do not purchase bicycles for the children. Although they are fun to purchase, and receive, they are quite cumbersome to transport and store, especially for many of our Recipients.
• We recommend leaving the tags on articles of clothing, and providing gift receipts in an envelope. This will allow your Family to make even exchanges, if necessary.
• Please do not include food baskets, as these are available to Recipients through a separate program.
• All gifts must be wrapped.
• The tag with the family number must be on the gift.
NEBHE Tuition Break
What is Tuition Break?
NEBHE's Tuition Break program, the New England Regional Student Program (RSP), enables thousands of New England residents to enroll at out-of-state New England public colleges and universities at a discount. Students are eligible for the RSP Tuition Break when they enroll in an approved major that is not offered by the public colleges and universities in their home-state.
New England includes the following six states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

PSAT Results
Students will receive 2019 PSAT/NMSQT scores in December via email. When they get the email confirmation that scores are ready, they need to create a College Board account and use the access code from the email to view scores. If they have an account already, they just need to log in to view them.
NSHS School Counselors will hold a student review session just before or after the holiday break. A Parent review session will be announced later.
