We are Back!
It has been awesome to experience the energy that comes with having students back in the building. It is so exciting to watch them on the field, courts and courses as they compete with excellence. I am looking forward to watching your students grow in their academics, extra-curriculars and in their community involvement. I am excited as we journey through this school year together.

PSAT
No cost (paid by State)
When: October 12th (Wednesday)
(If school is delayed due to weather - test will be given on delay schedule)
The PSAT is especially important for college-bound students and only those scores from a student’s junior year are eligible for inclusion in the National Merit Scholarship contest. All sophomores and juniors will be taking the PSAT. The PSAT is designed not only to prepare a student for the SAT but also to give insight and suggestions regarding a student’s ability for college level and Advanced Placement class work. Scores on the SAT are used for college admission decisions and sometimes for college course selections so improving SAT scores is important.
If you have questions please contact your child’s guidance counselor.
Juniors:
Jessica McClure (A-K) - Jessica.Mcclure@nacs.k12.in.us

College Application Process
2. Create account with Parchment.com & request transcript to be sent to colleges you apply to unless the college uses the common application and then student does not need parchment.
3. The counselor portion & transcript will then be completed & sent to these colleges by Mrs. Kennerk or Mr. Cross.
4. Make sure you are aware of the application deadlines. Your application needs to be completed at least a week before the deadline.
5. If you need a recommendation to go along with your application, choose someone who knows you well, tell them what it is for, and give them at least a week to complete it.
6. If you are in Career Exploration Internship, add that to your application if possible and explain what it is, how it works, and how it has benefited you. Some colleges may look at your transcript and see an Internship listed but not really know what it is all about.
