RECHS AVID
10.4.2023
Busy Start
It has been a very busy start to our the school year as freshman become accustomed to navigating the school and managing their schedules. Similarly, our seniors have come to the realization that life is happening faster than they anticipated.
So far, our freshman have been setting goals and designing their college roadmaps. Additionally, they are being assigned specific IXL lessons to prepare them for the varying college entrance exams that they will be taking this year.
Seniors on the other hand have been filling out college applications and other needed documents as they prepare for their futures. They have been working on Topic A for ApplyTexas, which is the most frequently requested essay by universities in Texas. They are also able to use this as the optional essay in the CommonApp.
I try to remind both sets of students to have grace with themselves, because it is a lot of work, but time management is key to their success.
I appreciate your support as we move forward this semester and school year.
