RSVP: Senior Family Financial Aid Advising Day Nov 27
OCEAN will be hosting a Financial Aid Advising Day on November 27th, 1-3pm during students Path to Graduation Class and after school at 5pm for parents to get more information and complete the FSA ID portion of the Financial Aid Application. We are working with community partners Krista DeHart with NW Washington STEM Network and Abby Rand with Peninsula College to support in this process.
Our volunteers will come in and describe the new process for applying and setting up their FSA ID number which is necessary for applications. Students will need to know or bring their social security number to start this process. Parents also need a FSA ID to complete their part of the application and will need their social security number as well. Our community volunteers Krista and Abby will meet with parents on the same day between 5-6pm. Our volunteers would like parents and guardians to RSVP beforehand to confirm their attendance. Please reach out to our School Counselor Emily Eldridge at eeldridge@ptschools.org or Sarah Rubenstein at srubenstein@ptschools.org to confirm your attendance.
Our volunteers will return January 22nd, 1-3pm for students and 5-6pm to support in completing applications for Financial Aid. Students and families will be able to get support in applying for FAFSA or WASFA.

Blue Heron Library
Come learn about the planning stages for a School Based Health Center at the OCEAN/Blue Heron Campus.
School based health centers provide comprehensive medical and mental health services in a professional health clinic on campus.
ASVAB Test - October 26
The ASVAB is being offered at OCEAN on October 26th starting at 12:00pm and there is no cost to take it.
ASVAB stands for Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, and is designed to measure abilities and predict future academic and occupational success in the military. If you are considering a military career, it is a requirement to take and pass the ASVAB.
Even if you do not plan a military career, it can be helpful to support students in learning their strengths, exploring potential career options, and it can satisfy the Graduation Pathway which is a high school graduation requirement.
Please email our School Counselor Emily Eldridge at eeldridge@ptschools.org if you have any questions about the ASVAB. Let your teacher or Ms. Eldridge know if you would like to be added or have your student added to the sign up list or come by the main office to add your name to the sign up sheet.
