Hello junior parents! It is hard to believe we are in the fourth quarter of the school year already! Below is some important information for your family as we finish out this year and look ahead to next year!
Your student should be able to access their ACT scores from their MyACT account. If he/she chooses to retake the ACT, he/she will need to login to that account and register for a Saturday administration. There are plenty of testing dates available prior to applying to college. For SAT registration, go to collegeboard.org/SAT.
Next fall we will host a senior parent night, discussing college, the application process, financial aid and filing the FAFSA, and scholarships. Your student's counselor will also meet with your senior individually early on in the year to go over graduation requirements and talk about future planning. Pam Sandoval, our College Now advisor, will also be available to meet with your student and/or you to discuss scholarships and financial aid and to assist with the FAFSA if needed. Please check out the information provided below, and if you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Parente at jparente@fairview.k12.oh.us or (440) 356-3500 ext. 4103.
