Staying Connected
Hello Awesome Counselors and AVID Family!
I hope to improve communication between our departments and showcase some of the awesome things happening across our districts to support our students! Have a great idea or information to share? Please let me know by emailing me!
Best,

College Readiness
JumpStart Solano
This year we are piloting a partnership with Solano Community College in an effort to streamline the matriculation process for our students at WCW and VHS. If you need some flyers, please let your college advisors know!
Experience Berkeley Program
UC Berkeley has a special program for self-identified Black, Latinx, and or Native American students who are current juniors with an interest in attending UC Berkeley. You can find the application below for your students along with additional information.
Final Financial Aid Workshop for VUSD
While the FAFSA will continue to be accepted until June 30th, the priority deadline for the CADAA and Cal Grants is March 2nd. Please share with your students and school community our flyers and where they can get assistance for the last big push of the year!
I am looking for about two counselors that are willing to help this night - you will be compensated via a timesheet.
Middle School: AVANZA Conference
UC Davis is hosting its annual Parent/Student Conference. It is my goal to send a bus from Jepson and Vaca Pena to this conference for our students and families.
Contact at Jepson: Tracy Begeley
Contact at Vaca Pena: Kali Stern
If you wish to have your school included please let me know as we may be able to do multiple pick ups.
Career Readiness Corner
All Weather Internship in Vacaville
Recently WCW and VHS Building Trades classes visited All Weather in town and students got a taste of a career in manufacturing. They let us know of this awesome opportunity for students wanting to go straight into the workforce. It is a fully paid internship through the summer!
