Wednesday, September 16th, for the entire 4th period, you will be attending a meeting regarding next steps following graduation. Rather than meeting with your school counselor, you will have the choice to attend a session that fits your needs. For example, there will be a session for those who are planning on applying to four-year schools and the steps that you need to take. There will be a session regarding NOVA and how to apply. Therefore, we need you to complete the google form indicating which session you will attend. This will help streamline the process and account for your attendance.
Here's the link to the Google Form. Please complete this NO LATER THAN Tuesday, September 15th.
Should you have any questions, please contact your school counselor directly.
