SENIORS
Senior Meetings And Counselor Appointments
In September, high school counselors will talk with seniors in small groups about the college admissions process. As a parent, you may have many questions as well and you are encouraged to schedule a time to sit down with your child's counselor to plan alongside your student. We have also created a new interactive time line that will help keep you on track (see welcome to senior year below).
Our counselors enjoy talking about the admissions process and again, we encourage you to meet with them. If you wish to speak with your child's counselor, the best way to schedule an appointment is by calling 516-277-7030. Students may find it easier to stop by the office to schedule an appointment.
