COLLEGE
PLANNING It is NEVER too early to start planning for college. I encourage you to expose your students EARLY and take advantage of the events happening in your community in order to prepare your student for the next phase of their lives. I encourage you to be proactive in attending college fairs, SAT workshops, financial aid workshops, college tours, and college bus tours.
