Important Information for Parents of Seniors: Congratulations! Graduation is right around the corner! Please have your daughter bring all college acceptance and scholarship letters to the Guidance Office by May 16, 2012 in order for them to be posted in school and included in the graduation book in June. Information for Juniors: The Guidance Department has met with every junior to discuss her post-graduate plans. During this interview, your daughter received a booklet that contains a suggested schedule and timeline filled with great information, ranging from when to register for the SAT to when to get letters of recommendation from teachers to when to apply for financial aid. All juniors are highly encouraged to take the SAT this year. The test will only be offered one more time before your daughter begins her senior year. You can register online at www.collegeboard.com or pick up a booklet in the Guidance Office. The deadline for registration for the June 2, 2012 test is May 8, 2012. Information for Sophomores: Sophomore interviews are in progress. Each sophomore will meet with her counselor to discuss her progress this year. Information for Freshmen: The Guidance Department has met with all ninth graders for their freshman interviews. The purpose of the interview is to sit down with your daughter and get to know a little about her, while giving her an opportunity to get to know her counselor and the services the Guidance Department provides. If you have any questions or feel your daughter may need any kind of assistance, please feel free to contact the Guidance Department. Peace Week Our students participated in a variety of activities for our Peace Week, April 16 – April 20. Buttons, which were made by the students, were distributed to students, faculty and staff. A multi-media presentation was shared with “Get a Grip” all students, and all involved said it was very meaningful. Finally, Peace Prayer Chains were created by the students and displayed around the school. The week brought a sense of wellness to all who participated. We have numerous opportunities for summer programs in areas like healthcare, finance, forensics, dance, engineering, or experiencing college life in general. For more information, please visit our website or come to the Guidance Office. Summer News This summer, we encourage the students to use the program – My College Quickstart – for help in taking their PSAT and SAT tests and for college searches. If you have any questions, please call the Guidance Department. Students in grades 10-12 have been introduced to our Naviance Program. By now they are registered with a user name and password and should have taken a Career Interest Profiler. If not, your daughter should log on and use this fun, insightful resource right away. Even if she already knows what she wants to do after graduation, this tool is loaded with great information about careers and post graduation opportunities. It also enables students to follow their academic life and choices for careers and colleges as they progress through St. Hubert.
