UPCOMING COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY VISITS

Students should stop by the Counseling Office and get a pass to attend the college/university/military Rep Visit prior to the right visit. These university/college or military visits are small group meetings typically lasting 20/30 minutes. These admission reps are often times the same people that review college applications, so it's a great connection for students.

Attention all Fall Sport Student-Athletes and parents of all Fall Student-Athletes: Many of our Fall sports have concluded their seasons and all of our Fall sports will be wrapping up in the coming weeks. We ask that each student-athlete as well as parent/guardians of student-athletes take the time to fill out their survey: Student-Athlete Survey: https://forms.gle/FnrZwbbPcqLYDtXU6 and Parent/Guardian of Student-Athlete Survey: https://forms.gle/knMfpjzJLBJfJtH86 These anonymous surveys are also available to be filled out anytime throughout the year and provide valuable feedback to our coaching staff and athletic director as a part of the annual reflection process for each coach and program. If you have a specific suggestion or concerns you would like to see addressed it is always recommended that you and/or your student athlete connect directly with the coach for the most immediate and individualized response. Thanks!

As of 2019, the NCAA process now allows signings for most sports on almost any day of the year. As a result of the greatly expanded dates as well as wanting to celebrate all of our college participants we will hold one large-scale signing opportunity on the evening of May 21st that recognizes all of our athletes who will be continuing on to compete in athletics at the collegiate level regardless of division or receipt of athletic aid. In the past we only recognized official NLI signings which excluded many of our athletes competing at the Division III level and this allows us to celebrate all of our Senior Athletes in one ceremony. Individual athletes and/or their Eastview team are encouraged to celebrate all collegiate signings in their own ways, but we will hold our school-wide signing ceremony at our Spring Senior Athlete Celebration in May along with our all-school athletic department award winners.

In order to both collect information for our ceremony in May, as well as to be able to share information with the local media, please have your athlete fill out the brief survey at this link: https://forms.gle/V2haN6AR7tjsKT2i6 Thanks and congrats on your commitment to participate in collegiate athletics!

Winter sports season is right around the corner! Student-athletes will not be able to participate in tryouts or practice unless registered. Make sure your student-athlete has a current sports physical on file and is registered for the desired sport via MyPaymentsPlus. For more specifics, please visit https://www.smore.com/vb1uy
