Please bring your child’s student ID preferably on an index card or piece of paper. We do not want to handle your cell phone. Also, you must sign the chromebook acceptance form. It is available electronically on the website or you may sign the paper form when onsite. If you have already received a device on another pickup day then you do not need to come to this rollout.

In light of the pandemic, many colleges are choosing to become test optional which means standardized testing in no longer a requirement for admission. This makes the application essay carry more weight in the admission process. I have 5 of the top college admission counselors in the area to speak about writing the essay. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to work with admissions counselors on their college applications even if these colleges are not on their list. One on one assistance will be offered as I answer questions and help with their applications. What a huge relief it will be to seniors to start and possibly finish their college applications prior to the start of the school year! The seminar is $85 for three days of collaboration and one on one assistance from admissions counselors. Read More.
