As a counseling department we try to make our activities fun and relaxing for students at the end of the day. One of the ways we do this is by engaging them in activities and conversation with prizes to be given away. The most common and fan favorite of prizes is candy. Unfortunately, with the counseling budget candy and other treats are hard to come by. We are looking for candy bag donations for this upcoming school year. After a long day of working in the classroom we want to provide the students with a treat before they leave for the day. We would greatly appreciate any type of candy bag donation. If you can help support our program please drop any candy you have to donate off in the counseling office with Sue Brown, or any counselor available. We want to thank every single one of you for your support! New Summer Programs FBI Teen Academy This summer, the FBI Denver Division will be hosting two Teen Academies in Colorado, one in Denver, and another in Colorado Springs. We wanted to reach out to share more information about the academies. Should you have students who may make a good fit for this immersive program, we encourage you to share it with them. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to send them our way. The application deadline is April 15, 2019.

Then you should be filling out your FAFSA! There are a lot of misconceptions about the FAFSA and many reasons why families elect to not fill it out. The biggest myth about filling out the FAFSA is: My family makes too much money for me to receive any aid. Regardless of family income or any other reason you can think of to not complete the FAFSA, here are some reasons why you should.
JUNIORS SAT Information The SAT is here and will take place at school on April 9th. There are some important pieces of information we want to share with you all leading up to the exam. The state of Colorado pays for all juniors to take the SAT on April 9th, so the test is completely free! We highly recommend all juniors to take the test even if they have already taken the SAT and they are pleased with their score. Students can bring calculators, snacks, water, and a number 2 pencil. They will not need to bring anything else that day. They will not be allowed to work on homework or any other assignments until the test has been collected and the rooms dismissed. We also recommend preparing for the SAT by utilizing all the free resources that are available. Khan Academy is a company that has paired with College Board (creators of the SAT) to provide free individualized practice for all students. This is a great tool for students to use in their preparation for the exam. There are multiple test prep companies that students can utilize where they can receive group help, individualized tutoring, or online practice. On the counseling website there is a link for our SAT/ACT page, which provides more information and resources for families. Please contact counseling with any questions. College Visits Juniors, it is about that time to really start vamping up your college preparation. One of the best ways to help you discover which college experience will be best for you is to start visiting campuses that you are interested in. Experts say that visiting a college is one of the top factors in discovering the right fit. With spring semester upon us, and the final semester before you start applying for college this is one of the best times to tour college campuses. Whether you want to stay in state or travel to the coasts, we highly recommend that you visit the campuses you are interested in. You can sign up for a structured visit with a tour guide or go and explore the campus on your own. Comments are closed.
