RPHS CCR Newsletter

The Ridge Point College and Career Readiness Center prepares our nearly 3000 students for college, trade school, military or employment. Students and parents are encouraged to visit the CCR Center in room K145 or reach out to me via email or my website. Susanna Jakubik, College and Career Readiness Advisor

I will be meeting with all seniors during their English classes on either August 17 or 18 in the auditorium. They will bring their laptops and we will workshop applications, SchooLinks integration, financial aid and scholarships, and more.

Beforehand, seniors should consider the following:

• Have you created an account on your application platform of choice? That could be ApplyTexas, Common App, the Common Black App, the UC app or others.
• Have you reviewed the essay prompts in your application of choice and drafted responses to them?
• Have you signed up for an SAT or ACT test if you still need one?
• Have you created a personal email that belongs only to you?
• Have you thought about who you will ask for letters of recommendation? Don't use the "Recommenders" feature in Common App; you will request them through SchooLinks and I will show you how.
• Has your parent applied for free/reduced lunch if you qualify? Remember that you can get free ACT/SAT tests and FREE college application fees! Click here to apply.
• Have you updated your resume with education, employment and community service?

I will meet with all senior parents at Open House in September to review what your senior should be doing now and how I can help.

RPHS will be hosting the fall college fair on Friday, September 18 during all lunches.

We are expecting more than 40 colleges, trade schools and military branches, and students are encouraged to visit the tables to ask questions about majors, admissions, financial aid and more.

Senior Sunrise for the Class of 2027 is scheduled for Friday, August 14 at 6:00 a.m. on the RPHS football field. The event is free for seniors, and includes a variety of activities to kick off senior year including a picnic-style breakfast, games and activities including a crown-making and handprint station, multiple selfie stations and many other opportunities to make amazing memories.

Parents who are interested in supporting the event can:

• Volunteer your time with setup the evening before, event activities the morning of Senior Sunrise, or teardown and cleanup after the event (sign up here).
