Finally - a five-day week! Hopefully, we can string a few together. In any case, we came back this week in great shape, ready to tackle the learning challenges before us. 'Twas a good week, indeed.
Parents/guradians of juniors, please know that we are working in overdrive to ready your young scholar for the college application process. They can help themselves by taking full advantage of the Let's Get Ready SAT preparation program. These sessions got underway on Monday, but it's not too late. Students may see their guidance counselor for more.
Parents/guardians of seniors, your young scholars have been informed of the "On the Spot College Acceptance" event at the John D. O'Bryant School of Math & Science this weekend. At this event you can:
- Meet with a College Planning Adviser to complete applications for admissions.
- Speak with Admissions Representatives and possibly receive an immediate acceptance decision to their institution.
- Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal student Aid) with a financial aid expert.
- Sign up to receive more information about transitional coaching supports through Success Boston
This an awesome opportunity. Follow this link to register or just show up. A list of partner colleges is below.
Lastly, parents/guardians of 10th graders, the English Language Arts section of the MCAS is quickly approaching. At this point, the best way to support your student in performing well is to ensure that he/she attends school each and every day. Miss school, miss out.
Best,
Pat
