Junior Conferences are officially underway! College Planning Night for Juniors was held last week and provided a general overview. Now you will have the opportunity to sit with your counselor to discuss your child's specific goals and interests. We ask that you schedule this conference during your child's "free block," at lunch, or after school. We will spend approximately 45 minutes with each family and request that at least one parent is present for this conference. Conferences began last week, and we hope to conclude them in January before the second semester begins.
