Post-DVS Planning Meetings for Senior Families
Happy Friday!
We are excited to support seniors as they begin exploring their Post-DVS plans. All seniors are enrolled in College, Career & Life (CCL) with Mr. Perez, which is a course dedicated to the college application process during the fall semester. Below are a few key topics we’ll be working on in CCL:
- Finalize College List
- Support with Personal Statement– process of self-exploration to help students share their story
- Instructions about how to complete applications for California State University (CSUs), University of CA (UCs), community college and Common Apps (private and out of state universities)
- Structured work-time with the goal of completing all college applications, which includes applying for financial aid prior to the Winter Break (CSU/UC – 11/30/22 deadline)
Additionally, seniors and their parent/guardian will have the opportunity to meet with Ms. Marquez, College Counselor, for an individualized Post-DVS planning meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to have a personalized discussion on colleges of interest and answer questions about the application process, including financial aid. If students have plans other then attending college, we invite you to still set up a meeting to gain support with this planning. Meetings will run from September 13th and conclude in mid-October. Parents/Guardians will attend the meeting via Zoom. Please use this link to sign up for your meeting.
We’ve had a lot of success supporting DVS students as they seek their next steps in life and we are confident this year’s seniors will find similar success. We look forward to continuing to support seniors!
Ms. Marquez and Mr. Perez
