#OtsegoPride
Principal Corner
It seems like Spring has finally started. Every morning I stand at the front door and it was fun watching students come with spring sports equipment for practice while at the same time shaking snow off their hats and coats!
The highlight this week was Career Day. At Otsego, we're serious about making sure students leave here with a plan. It was great to see the passionate way community members interacted with our students as they talked about different career pathways, and our students were engaged and appreciative of the opportunity!
This time of the year gets busy here at school. Please reach out if you are unsure about dates or times for the many different activities we have going on. As we begin the third trimester, we're looking forward to finishing the year strong!

Career Day
Scheduling for 2023-24 School Year
The counselors have met with our current junior class and sophomore classes. Their course selections for next year are almost complete. The counselors will be meeting with our incoming 9th graders next week to help them select their classes. Please take advantage of Xello to see your students’ course selections and career goals.
FAFSA Workshops
By completing the FAFSA, students can receive a detailed report of their Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which will give them a better idea of what they (and their families) may be expected to contribute to their education costs. This information can be invaluable as students consider their college options.
Lake Michigan College offers a series of Financial Aid nights on their three campuses designed to provide direct help in completing the FAFSA. Each session runs from 5:30 pm to 7 pm.
March 30 LMC Niles Campus
April 11 & April 26 LMC Benton Harbor Campus
April 19 LMC South Haven Campus
Please let your students know (again and again) about the FAFSA and feel free to share our upcoming events. With our low tuition, transferable classes, and great scholarships Lake Michigan can help your students launch a high value college education at a very low cost. (Our FAFSA ID is 002277).
