Attention Senior Families

Ohio Direct Admission Participation Authorization Letter

Our district is participating in Ohio Direct Admission, which allows students to find out which participating colleges they meet admissions requirements for based on their academic records. To identify colleges and universities where students qualify for direct admission, the school/district will upload and/or confirm a student education record data (e.g., grade point average (GPA), test scores) into a secure portal where it will be matched against participating colleges and universities’ admission criteria. No student information will be sent to any college/university during this matching step.

By participating in the Ohio Direct Admission Program, the student and the parent or legal guardian hereby expressly acknowledge and authorize the student’s school or school district to disclose the student’s educational records—including GPA, standardized test scores, and other required academic or demographic information—to the Ohio Department of Higher Education (“ODHE”) and its authorized agents for the exclusive purpose of determining eligibility for, and administering, the Program.

By Participating, the student and the parent or legal guardian further acknowledges and agrees that:

All educational records will be collected, transmitted, stored, and used in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and all other applicable federal and state privacy laws.
The Participant (student and parent/legal guardian) may request the opportunity to review the student’s educational information prior to its submission by emailing the Records Administrative Assistant, Christy Belford at cbelford@bereaschools.org by September 11, 2026.
The educational records disclosed under this authorization shall be used solely for program-related purposes and shall not be sold, disclosed, or used for any unrelated purpose by ODHE, the school district, or any third party.
If a student is interested in claiming a direct admission offer, they may elect to send limited information from the portal to an institution. No information will be shared from the portal without a student’s explicit consent.

Participation in the Program is voluntary. Participants who choose to participate must opt in by completing the form below by September 25, 2026. Participants who do not wish to participate in the Program do not need to complete the form. For more information on the Program, please visit highered.ohio.gov/direct-admission. A full list of participating colleges and universities can be found HERE.

Ohio Direct Admission Opt-In Form

News from the Clinic

Attention Seniors: The Ohio Department of Health School Immunization Requirement now includes two doses of Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine to be administered before a student enters the twelfth grade. Therefore, your rising twelfth-grader will need to show proof of having received the Meningococcal vaccine. Currently, there are no school entry requirements for Meningococcal B vaccine. The recommended MCV4 minimum interval is at least eight (8) weeks between dose one and dose two. If the first dose of MCV4 was administered on or after the 16th birthday, a second dose is not required.

Please submit proof of vaccinations to the clinic as soon as possible!

News from the Counselors

College Credit Plus Fall Intent to Participate:

The fall intent to participate form is now live. This is only for students who missed the April 1st deadline last year. If you already completed the intent to participate last spring, you do not need to complete this again. Students who missed the spring intent to participate and complete this fall intent will be able to take College Credit Plus classes in the spring semester 2027. If you have any questions, please have your student reach out to their school counselor! To access the Fall Intent to Participate, use this link.

Ms. Zemek will be going into all senior English classes beginning this week to give an overview of the college application process. Seniors who do not have an English class should check their email to find Ms. Zemek's presentation schedule and plan on attending during a free period. Students should see their counselor with any questions!

TLC Room

Attention Titan Families,

Each school building within the district houses a Titan Loving Closet aka TLC Room. The TLC Room is for families who might be in a season of needing support. If you are in need of any assistance with physical items, including hygiene, household, clothing, food, or school supplies, please reach out to your student's school counselor or Student & Family Support Specialist. We will then be able to further discuss your needs and utilize the TLC Room supplies or additional community resources.

Naviance Emails

Attention parents: the counseling office uses a program called Naviance to send out important information to parents and students. These are not spam emails! The sender email address may look like this: "Laura Johnson <mailer@email.naviance.com>". Please be on the lookout for important information from the counseling office coming in this way to your email!
