  Before we know it, this school year will be long gone and it will be summer again. It may not seem this way for freshmen and sophomores, but for seniors and some juniors these are the final days before going to college, becoming an adult, and starting their new role in society through their career. This week, our school counselors are holding College and Career Readiness presentations in the multi-purpose room for seniors. These sessions are meant to provide upper-classmen information they need to know about graduating, applying for colleges, and more.

            “Senior seminar helped me think about what major I wanted to go into,” said senior Jared Harrington.

 The times for which seniors go when depend on their counselors. Brand who has last names A – C as well as Feldmann with last names D – I have already gone today. Tomorrow, Daugherty’s students whose last names are J – M go during 3^rd hour and Fast’s students whose last names are N – Sk happens during 4^th hour. On Thursday, Nolting’s seniors with last names Si – Z have theirs during 3^rd hour and Powell’s TAG students go during 4^th hour. These lessons are RAM-PLANNED, so there is no penalty for showing up.

            Also, on Monday, October 12^th, seniors can participate in Iowa College Application Campaign Day open anytime from 8 AM to 8 PM. During this, Counselors and volunteers will be ready in Library Lab B and can help students complete their college applications if they need assistance.

Study halls, release periods, or even during conferences going on next week are great times to come if you need it. If someone doesn’t have an open chance to come, they may be excused from classes if necessary.
