Waiting to Hear about College Decisions
Fastweb
It's that time of the year again - a period of anxiousness, tenseness, nervousness,
and restlessness. When all of these come together, that only means it’s the waiting
period to hear back from college admissions. The applications have been sent, and
now it’s waiting time.

The Wait for the College Acceptance Letter: Helping Teens Cope with Stress
Psychology Today
The time of year has come when high school seniors are starting to receive letters
from colleges. The brief breath of relief of mailing in their final application has given
way to the held breath of waiting to hear back from schools. This moment of
anticipation is one of the most stressful times in a teenager’s (or anyone who’s been
through it’s) life. How to handle that stress is something that weighs on the hearts
and minds of parents, educators, counselors, and most importantly, the students
enduring this intensely transitional moment in their life.

The truth about college admissions — from college admissions deans
The Washington Post
A few weeks ago, I published a post about how “unconscionably unjust” the college
admissions process was, a fact long known but underscored this year when federal
prosecutors announced indictments of dozens of people — including parents and
college coaches — in a widespread admissions fraud scheme.

Spring Group Counseling
Stress Management Group
High school students have a lot going on. Schoolwork and studying take up time, especially for honors or AP classes. Students have commitments after-school hours and are likely packed with extracurricular activities, a part-time job, a social life, and spending time with family. This could cause a lot of unwanted stress in a high schooler’s life.
Students will participate in adventure-based counseling, mindfulness, and stress management
skills activities in a small group setting for 6-8 weeks to support their understanding of stress
management. This group is open to 9th-12th grade students; groups will be upheld at different
times depending on numbers of students interested.
If you are interested in signing up for this group, please go to

Time Management & Study Skills Group
Students support their own academic success through social emotional learning and academic readiness skills during each group session. Students will have personal reflections with others, track their own academic success and strategies used and support their own learning and growth with time management and studying.
This group is for 9th - 12th graders and is upheld during Miner Block over the Spring 2019
semester.
Please contact Ms. Jessica Koltz if you would like to be a part of either of these groups:
