Dear College Bound Juniors,
Colleges and universities expect that students will take the necessary steps to prepare for college. It is very important to make this year your best yet, because colleges often look at the trends in a student’s high school performance, and by now, they expect you to “have your act together.” Please keep this list of important dates handy, so that you do not miss opportunities in the college planning process. Events marked with an asterisk (*) require pre-registration. Counselors will be meeting with juniors in the spring, but students may request a planning conference at any time. If you have any questions or concerns, please request an appointment with your counselor. We are here to help! Sincerely, The Student Services Department
