Flock Block with the Counselors
Juniors met with counselors to run through mock scenarios regarding healthy communication.
Class of 2024
University of Cincinnati is offering a free application to anyone who applies between 11/1-11/14. Students applying to the UC Uptown campus via the Common App must select "Free Application Days November 1-14" in the fee waiver section.
Class of 2025
If you have not finished your Birkman assessment, please do so at your earliest convenience. Results should arrive anytime next week! Do not miss out.
Class of 2026
With the arrival of the second quarter, counselors are gearing up to touch base with our sophomores. Be on the lookout for an e-hall pass to The Nest from your counselor. If you would like to see your counselor before she gets to you, send her an email.
Class of 2027
Parents and students should be on the lookout for an email invitation from SCOIR – an incredible online resource the students will use throughout their time as a Falcon. Mrs. Snyder also sent an email to explain the program and registration process. Students will meet with their counselors during Flock Block next week to learn more about this tool.
College Search and Test Prep
Courtesy of LEAP: Students gain a slight to significant admissions advantage at certain schools by demonstrating interest. Make sure to:
- Open and respond to emails from colleges (certain colleges track this!)
- Contact the admissions counselor at their college of interest or, more importantly, contact the admissions counselor for their program of interest.
- Go on a college visit!
Be sure to watch this video blog on Demonstrated Interest to learn how to find which schools track this important data.
Learn other methods of demonstrating interest and How Demonstrated Interest Can Help Guide Your College Search in a second blog with Flourish Coaching's own Lisa Marker-Robbins and Sylvia Borgo!
When should you Demonstrate Interest?
- The sooner, the better! Regular contact with your school of choice could be vital!
- Visit college campuses during junior year of high school. Make sure visits occur when the college campus is bustling with activity (holidays, breaks, and summer are not good choices).
- Make a personal connection with your admission counselor for their program of interest. Many times, students are admitted directly into a program within the college!

Wellness Tip of the Week
Sleep and Wellness for Athletes – Courtesy of the NCAA
Sleep matters for athletes, whether high school or collegiate athletes. Poor sleep is associated with decreased athletic and academic performance, may increase injury risk, delay recovery time and may increase risk for mental health symptoms.
