Hello Junior Families! I hope you had a restful weekend. Tomorrow is the NACAC College Fair. In preparation for the event, I encourage you and your student to review the list of participating institutions. For the event tomorrow, we will ask students to visit at least 5-10 colleges (or more) and ask the admissions representative questions from a College Fair Checklist. Students will receive a physical copy of the checklist tomorrow. These questions are designed to gain more information on admissions requirements, student life, housing options, and much more. This activity encourages students and their families to start exploring which colleges they may apply to. We are looking to incorporate student findings and reflections from the NACAC College Fair during their SLCs.
We are looking forward to attending the NACAC Fair! Please reach out to Ms. Marquez if you have any questions.
