Flight Training
Seniors, have you started working on your college applications? Are you stuck or unsure about specific areas of your college application? Flight Training is an opportunity for you to work with your counselor and receive assistance with your college applications.
Flight Training will be held October 24th- 28th.
Please check the Counselor’s TEAMS channel and your FUSD email for more information regarding Flight Training.
Chaffey Dual Enrollment
If you are interested in earning college credit as a high school student, you can do so by enrolling in Chaffey College’s Dual Enrollment program. This is open to all 9th-12th grade students. The classes you take at Chaffey College meet the A-G requirements for UC and CSU schools.
Enrollment for the Spring 2023 semester will begin on October 24th, 2022. For more information, please visit Chaffey’s Dual Enrollment website or stop by the counseling office.
FSA ID
Seniors, if you haven’t already done so create your FSA ID. The FSA ID (account username and password) allows students and parents to identify themselves electronically to access Federal Student Aid websites. It is also used to quickly sign your FAFSA application and have it processed. If you have questions, please visit studentaid.gov or visit the “Financial Aid” Teams Channel.
