PHS College & Career Corner

Typically these newsletters are sent on the weekends, but this week has too many important opportunities to share!

Read on for information about NAMI and Mental Health Supports for students and families, admissions testing webinars, volunteer opportunities, a STEAM Field Trip, and new/extended scholarship opportunities! Don't forget to complete Naviance Career Tasks (required for parking permits) that are necessary for all 9-11 grade students due by April 30th!

The counseling office supports the academic, career, and social/emotional growth of our students. While this newsletter typically highlights academic and career/college planning, we wanted to share a support group (on-going) and mental health summit this Sunday, April 26th for students and caregivers. NAMI is the largest grassroots mental health organization in our country, offering education about and support for mental health. Please consider attending this weekend's event.

Students, learning something from Stay Well, Build Your Skills and know that you are NEVER alone!

For sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in exploring careers in the STEAM fields: the Delaware County Workforce Development Board is collaborating with DCCC to provide an engaging day of career exploration and networking with employers and postsecondary institutions.

Please see Ms. Allen, Mr. Gramo, or Mrs. Wolff for a permission form.

WHEN: Thursday, April 30th from 9:00-12:45.This trip is provided at no cost to the students and lunch is provided!

We encourage all 9-11 grade families to attend the Navigating the Critical Changes in Admissions Testing webinar offered exclusively to Penncrest Families on April 30th. Please register in advance using the link above! If we do not have enough registrants the program will be canceled. You can register and if you are unable to attend will still receive access to the materials.
