-The DVS Counseling Team
We are looking forward to another great week coming up, which will include college counseling webinars for 10th grade on Tuesday and 11th grade on Thursday and college guest speakers every day of the week during lunch! We encourage students of all grades to come during lunch to listen to these guest speakers and to be thinking about their own college options!
PSAT & SAT Testing for All Students: On Wednesday, October 13, DVS will be administering the PSAT and the SAT on campus for all students (grades 9, 10, 11, and 12). We are happy to be able to provide this opportunity for our students to be college-ready at no cost to our families. Students will be receiving a student preparation guide and will be preparing in their English and math classes for these exams in the days leading up to October 13th.
Student-Led Conferences will begin via Zoom in week 10, and more information about how to sign up for a time slot will be coming soon from the grade-level teams. Here is the calendar for the weeks between now and Thanksgiving break!
Thank you to the students, parents, and guardians that were able to attend the 9th Grade College Counseling Webinar yesterday. Here is the recording and slides for those who were not able to attend.
We added links to POSSE and Questbridge on the Scholarship Search slide. Posse is a full-tuition scholarship and Questbridge is a full, four-year scholarship that includes tuition, fees, room and board, books, supplies, and travel expenses.
