Sophomores, you will take the PreACT on Wednesday, 11/13 which is a half-day.
Juniors & Junior Parents, be sure to complete the Junior Questionnaire on Naviance. Your parents should also complete the Junior Parent Questionnaire. These can be found by clicking on "My Surveys" under the "About Me" tab. Both questionnaires must be completed one week before your scheduled Junior Family Meeting or the meeting will be rescheduled. Completing it sooner will help us greatly. One or both parents should attend the meeting with the student. Parents may sign up for a meeting time here. If you cannot make your scheduled meeting time, please email or call ahead of time to let us know. We tried to provide time slots at the beginning and end of each available day to help with parent work schedules.
Seniors, if we have submitted your requested transcripts, please allow two to three weeks for them to be processed. Colleges & universities are extremely busy during application season. This means that your college portals are not updated immediately. If you are concerned that your transcripts were not received by the college or university, please contact their admissions office first before reaching out to us.
