Nipmuc School Counseling Center News - April

The school year is flying by and spring is finally on its way...we think! In the School Counseling Center, we just finished up our spring Wellness Week and course registration for next year is ongoing.  Springtime also means scholarship season for seniors who are going to college next year.  Seniors should check the scholarship list in Naviance often as new scholarships are posted almost every day.

Coming up in April…

April 1: The last day of Spring Wellness Week: Students participated in advisory activities and therapy dogs were in the building! Click here to see some highlights from the week!

April 7: Community iFair at Nipmuc (5:45-8pm): The Community iFair is designed to bring the entire Mendon and Upton communities together to get excited about technology! All technology sessions and showcases are offered this evening by Mendon-Upton educators, staff, supporters, and students.  Technology sessions are a combination of presentation and practice and will be held in classrooms. Our technology showcases will be set up throughout the lobby, hallways, and the media center. These showcases allow you to experience hands-on technology, see best practices in action, and have your technology questions answered.

April 8: Deadline to register for the May SAT: www.collegeboard.org

April 9: ACT: Good luck to those students taking the test! There will be another ACT given on June 11.  Visit www.actstudent.org to register.

April 15: Counselors will be wrapping up individual meetings with students for course registration. Students should take a look at the Program of Studies and the course selection sheet before meeting with their counselors. Both documents are available on our School Counseling blog.  Individual meetings will also include starting a Wellness Plan.

April 18-22: April Vacation - have fun and be safe!

Reminder to seniors and parents of seniors: All scholarship opportunities are posted in Naviance. More are posted each day and deadlines are starting to come up. Please submit your applications to Mrs. Hefez by the Naviance deadlines!
