What's Happening This Week
We hit the ground running...What a fantastic start to the school year! This past week was full of activities for the Class of 2025. From the Class of 2025 Senior Back to School Meeting - College Apps to our Class of 2025 Senior Parent Night Presentation and 13 college visits, Penncrest students and families are busy preparing for the future. We recognize that this process can be overwhelming, so take time to review PHS Class of 2025: Guide to the College Application Process if you have any questions. Parents/Guardians, please do not forget that we need an electronically signed Parent/Guardian PHS Permission to Release Official Records Form before we can start sending any materials on behalf of your senior.
...but don't forget to stop and breathe along the way. The stress of figuring out the next steps after high school is real, as are the emotions experienced throughout the journey. Remembering to take care of yourself - staying organized (consider using this College Application Tracker - Template), getting enough sleep, eating healthy, spending time outdoors, and having fun with family and friends - is essential to finding joy and balance during the senior year! The #1 thing I heard from students this week is that they felt like they are behind in this process. You are exactly where you need to be! Seek support when needed and remember to pay attention to deadlines (PSA - no deadline has passed yet, so you're doing just fine!).
- Details and registration links can be found under the College Visits tab in Naviance (you must be logged in): https://student.naviance.com/colleges/visits. You must register at least an hour prior to the scheduled visit.
- Visits will be held in the College and Career Center in the counseling office or Lecture Room A. Please view the location when registering.
- You will receive an email prior to the scheduled visit that will confirm your registration. Please show that to your teacher to use as your pass prior to coming to the meeting.
- Attendance is documented at all visits!
- Seniors - if you plan to apply to a school or have already applied, ATTEND THE VISIT. The representatives will be looking for you!!!
