Counselor Connection

Senior FAFSA Requirement
This Monday, Oct. 24th, the counseling department will go into Gov/Econ classes to help seniors with the FAFSA financial aid application (or Dream Act application). A new state law requires that ALL public high school seniors submit the FAFSA as a graduation requirement. Parents are asked to please help your senior submit the FAFSA using the following steps:
 
  1. Create an FSA ID -- one each for parent & student.
  2. Complete the FAFSA application using your 2021 income tax information.
  3. Recommended: Within the FAFSA, use the IRS Retrieval Tool to transfer data from your federal income tax returns. 

Undocumented students may submit the CA Dream Act Application.

Teen Yoga Classes!!

Is your high school student interested in yoga? Join instructor Paige Benjamin at the Millbrae Recreation Center for Teen Yoga and Mindfulness! Students will practice pose sequences designed to help them to discover greater strength, flexibility, focus, self-discipline, and relaxation while building body awareness and confidence. This class is a perfect complement to busy academic and extracurricular schedules, helping create connections with others and themselves, and leaving them refreshed and ready for the outside world. Yoga can help teens learn to regulate their mental and emotional states, and in turn relieve stress to promote better focus clarity, and creativity.
