Junior Year Information

Please see below for the recap.  HERE is a link to the complete presentation.

College Visits

• Students get two days their junior and senior year to take visits. 

• Parents record absence in Skyward and students turn in college admissions form to the attendance office after the visit to make it unexcused. 

• Students who are planning to play sports in college should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center and/or the NAIA Eligibility Center.

Junior Year Grades

• The GPA at the end of students’ junior year is the GPA  that colleges/universities will review in the admission process. 

• We discussed how students really need to dig in this year–this year is SO important for their grades and college admissions. 

• We encouraged them to really push this year–work hard, go see the tutor, use your study halls, listen in class, and be proactive when you are struggling.

SAT Preparation

• Students should have received an email from College Board last week with their PSAT/NMSQT scores.  We encouraged our EC juniors to use Khan Academy to practice and prepare for the March SAT that will take place at CGHS.

• We also encouraged our students to take advantage of the free SAT practice exam that is being offered at CGHS on November 16th.  Please use THIS link to register for the SAT practice day..

• In June, students will be encouraged to attend a College Bootcamp to assist them with the application and admission process for college.  Students will receive assistance in writing their college essay from college admissions counselors.

• The date will be determined in the spring based on the availability of college admission counselors. We are hoping that we will be able to host the event on or around June 5th.
