ECE Day at WCSU
Students from AP/ECE Spanish Language and Culture attended ECE day on Friday, February 21 at Western Connecticut State University. Students received their official WCSU College IDs, listened and participated in demonstration lectures for Mathematics/Robotics, Nursing and Communication, toured the campus, were treated to lunch at the WCSU cafeteria and then joined Señor GarcĂa on a stroll to the Mexican Bakery located on White Street in Danbury. Overall, students enjoyed the experience and received invaluable information about the college admissions process and college life from WCSU professors, professional staff and current students. Pictured are Nicole Zambrano, Fernando Flores, Sarah Cilia, Jacob Pardalis, Katie McMorrow, Amanda Carlacci, Anabella Ebanks and Trinity Smith enjoying delicious Mexican pastries on their way back to NFHS.
NFHS offers ECE math and world language courses every year to students who want to get the college experience while still in High School.
On February 27th, the New Fairfield High School Counseling Department partnered with Mr. Nilvio Perez, Director of Admissions at Southern Connecticut State University, to provide a comprehensive update to students and their families on the college planning process for junior year and beyond.
The NFHS School Counseling Team shared key information that has been delivered to current juniors through classroom lessons, grade-level meetings, course planning sessions, and one-on-one junior planning meetings. They also reviewed upcoming programming dates and highlighted opportunities for additional support in the post-high school planning process.
Mr. Nilvio Perez delivered an engaging presentation, guiding parents through all aspects of the college exploration, application, and admission process from the perspective of an experienced admissions counselor, parent, and knowledgeable professional.
We are grateful to Mr. Perez for donating his time and expertise to support our school community in collaboration with the NFHS School Counseling Team and to the parents and students who joined us for this engaging evening.
If you could not attend or would like additional information, please see the attached presentation, which reflects the combined efforts of Mr. Perez and the NFHS School Counseling Team, or contact a member of the NFHS School Counseling Team.
