Course registration for the 2016-2017 school year is underway, so we’ve been doing a lot of future planning with juniors. It’s a great time to consider what comes after high school. Will your child go to college? Start working? Join the military? Learn a trade? The opportunities are plenty, but planning ahead will be important. There’s no time like the present to start thinking about and planning for the future!
Coming up in March…
March 2: Counselors will meet with freshmen in groups to talk about graduation requirements, transcripts, and the course registration process.
March 4: 21st Century Learning Conference: This full day conference for students will run just like the half-day one last November. Students will be able to sign up through Sched.org next week for a variety of sessions created to foster development of professional college and career-related skills. Workshops will be run by professionals from the field as well as Nipmuc faculty.
March 4: Deadline to register for the April ACT: www.actstudent.org
