Guidance Updates
Electric Boat - Job/Internship Opportunities, No Experience necessary!
General Dynamics Electric Boat in recent years has hired many Attleboro students and graduates for job and internship opportunities. A representative is tentatively scheduled to give a presentation on campus on Wednesday, December 17th from 9a-10a. They will then return on April 8th for an application day! This is a great career opportunity for AVA juniors and seniors interested in working right after graduating, or even college-bound students to gain hands-on experience in technology and engineering before pursuing higher education. There will be registration required for this event, so stay tuned and just mark your calendars for now. You can also click HERE to learn more about Electric Boat and its opportunities.
Online College Degrees and Programs
For AVA Seniors and families who are interested in pursuing virtual options for post-secondary education, more schools are starting to offer 100% online and hybrid degrees and certificate programs! Here is an inconclusive list of colleges with such programs and links to more info:
FSA ID Night - Last Call!
Final reminder: On October 30th from 6pm-8pm, the AHS Guidance Dept. will be hosting an FSA ID night to help seniors and families complete the FSA ID for federal financial aid. Though it is the same night and time as Parent Teacher Conference Night, we welcome any AVA seniors and their families to join us on campus or make a virtual appointment with Ms Nellie for FSA ID help that night. Registration is required, so please click HERE to register.
As always, please feel free to email me (nng@attleboroschools.com) with any questions, comments, or concerns. Have an incredible weekend!
