SENIORS Make sure you are finalizing those college applications and begin preparing for the next step. This is an exciting time of year getting to decide the next steps in your young and very bright futures. However, this time can also be overwhelming. Keep an eye on those deadlines and make sure you have everything completed that schools need. Talk to financial aid offices for scholarship opportunities and other financial assistance. If you have any questions about your next steps please contact your counselor! We have a ton of scholarships in our office for students to apply to! If you need scholarships and are unable to make it to the workshops stop by counseling to look at the opportunities! Application deadlines are approaching quickly so don’t wait! Scholarship Workshop Are you stressing about how to pay for college? Starting in January this semester we will be hosting scholarship workshops for students. We have arranged 6 dates throughout the semester during 7th hours to have students come down and explore scholarships. We will provide you with multiple data bases to look at, we will have the scholarship of the day for students to apply to, and help you narrow down options. This is not mandatory, however, we encourage all seniors to come down and apply to at least one scholarship. Shadow Day On Friday February 16th, our early release day, we are having another career shadow day. There will be two different options for students to attend on this day. The first option is Lawyers in Court, where we will take around 15 students to the Jefferson County Courthouse and have them shadow a lawyer. Students will attend a general session about being a lawyer, observe a criminal or civil trial, observe a case management conference, see a preliminary hearing, and meet with Judge Pilkington. If you are considering a profession in law or criminal justice this is a great shadow day for you! You will be at the courthouse from 12:30-3:30. For more information stop by the counseling office. The other shadow day option is a visit to Colorado School of Mines. We are able to take up to 40 students for this visit. The agenda for this site will be to receive a tour of the Geology Museum, and then students will break off into two groups. The first group will visit the Geo-Environmental-Microbiology Lab, The center for space resources, and the hydrologic science and engineering program. The second group will visit the department of metallurgical and materials engineering, the robotics and automation lab, and the functional biometrics lab. The earlier you turn in your permission slip the higher chance you get to choose the break-off group you attend. This day will run from 12:45-4:00. For more information please visit the counseling office. JUNIORS Course Selection Course selection is right around the corner, and we want you all to be prepared for your final year at D’Evelyn. Start thinking about what you want to study in college, or what you want to do when you graduate. Think wisely about taking AP classes, and make sure they are in subjects you are interested in. Once you sign the contract you are not allowed to drop an AP class, so make sure it is something you will enjoy and can be beneficial for your future.
