Remind App and Texts for Seniors
Well we are already almost done with the 2nd week of school! It's been a great, yet crazy start to the year.
This week I started meeting with all of the seniors in small groups to hopefully get them "thinking" graduation and college applications. So far the meetings have been well attended.
During the meetings we have talked about applications, transcripts, financial aid and recently I have started using a texting service called "Remind" that allows me to text the seniors with information or I can send, or they can send, individual messages to me. I hope this turns out to be a good way to communicate and get information to them. Parents are invited to sign up as well, your senior has this information in the blue packet they received from me during their senior meeting. Otherwise email me for the directions, I would be happy to provide them!
Lastly, in regards to financial aid - we will have a FAFSA (financial aid application) completion event on November 12 from 6-8pm which is during parent-teacher conferences. More information to come regarding this.
Feel free to contact me should you have any questions!
