College Counseling News
Senior students, parents, teachers and I are all working together to address the plethora of college / university requirements for the November 1
st
early action / early decision deadlines. Please remind your senior to double check all their college application requirements this weekend to ensure that they/we have addressed every document needed for their admission. It is also strongly recommended that your student follow up with those that they requested Letters of Recommendation from so that these important referrals are provided prior to our November 1, 2019 deadline. Of equal importance is your student’s commitment and partnership in keeping their Naviance Student account updated and accurate. Naviance functions as a portal for the college counselor to electronically submit required documents (i.e. transcripts, school profiles, letters of recommendations, counselor evaluations, school reports, etc.). If your son / daughter’s Naviance Student account is not accurate, it severely hinders my ability to function as their college liaison.
As you are seating around the dinner table, would you be an extension of myself by expressing our sincere appreciation for their patience in sharing the Senior Commons with the college reps who have traveled from far off places to meet your Great Hearted sons and daughters. There are only two more college rep visits scheduled in the Senior Commons next week. Students will be visited by Paradise Valley Community College on Mon, Oct 28
th
during lunch and Le Cordon Bleu, France on Tues, Oct 29
th
during Lyceum. Then beginning on November 1
st
, future college rep visits will be relocated to another to-be-determined space.
If your student is interested in the medical field and robotics, save the date on Nov 16
th
for Abrazo Health’s A Day with the Robots from 9am – 1 pm. During this event students will have the chance to:
-tour an OR suite
-see and touch knee/ hip/ shoulder implants
-learn how about doctors use robotics in surgery and
-have hands on time with the robots to do virtual reality surgery alongside the physicians.
The robots for this event will be MAKO (robotic knee and hip replacement), Navio (robotic knee replacement), Da Vinci (minimally invasive surgery, O-Arm (Spine navigation system).
All students are welcome, yet attendance does require that you
