College Applications & Letters of Rec
This Aug/Sept, I visited Senior English Classes to go over some important College App/Naviance to-dos. It’s a lot of information, so families can find a description online here.
Please note that I’m interested in your plans for the future, not just if you’re planning to go to a 4 year! There are many different routes to careers and I’d love to talk with students about all the options out there. Naviance is a great tool as well- the careers tab can help you explore jobs and the skills needed. The Occupational Outlook Handbook (which Naviance pulls their information from) is also a great resource with some more detailed information from what’s in Naviance.
Don't forget to review the Senior Action Plan- HERE.
