We are now in the process of making college lists with Class XI students. In the next two weeks, we will be going over the details of the application process in preparation for their summer college research assignments. We will discuss scholarships and encourage those interested in outside scholarships to begin the work of searching and applying for them this summer. Class XI students are also busy getting their ACT and SAT testing done, as well as taking AP exams. We encourage students to visit colleges with their families during the summer before Senior year.
We will meet Class X students during May Class Meetings to register them on Waterford’s web-based college counseling resource, Naviance Family Connection, and to introduce the College Counseling Calendar.
All parents are welcome to call or email us, stop by, or make an appointment to discuss college opportunities for your child.
