Although the college application process begins in the spring of the junior year, there are things students and parents can be doing along the way to be prepared. The Guidance Timeline will provide parents/caregivers and overview of expectations for each school year. The tasks that students should complete each school year is outlined, the schedule for Guidance Seminars and a schedule of post-secondary planning activities. This timeline will help students and parents stay on track and know what to expect each school year!
Each school year the guidance counselors schedule seminars to discuss post-secondary planning. The 2022-2023 seminar schedule is as follows:
September: SENIORS/Post-Secondary Planning
October: FRESHMEN - Guidance Overview and Graduation Requirements
January: JUNIORS & SOPHOMORES - PSAT Results
February: JUNIORS Scheduling Seminars
March: GRADES 8-10: Scheduling Seminars
April: SENIORS/Senior Final Plans / Juniors Scoir & College/Career Planning
May: SOPHOMORES - Scoir & Career Planning
June: Scoir & College/Career Planning Follow-up Seminar
JUNIORS and their parents/guardians are encouraged to review the Junior College Planning Timeline. (A pdf of the timeline is posted a the bottom of the page). The timeline provides a checklist of tasks the juniors should accomplish during the spring and summer if they are planning on applying to a 4-year college. This information will be reviewed in detail with all Juniors during the Guidance Seminar that will take place in February.
SOPHOMORES and their parents/guardians are encouraged to log into Scoir to conduct career searches & take personal inventory assessments such as the Career Interest Profiler and the Career Cluster Finder. Guidance counselors will hold Guidance Seminars in the spring to familiarize sophomores with Scoir.
