 New Vista 201: New Parent Orientation

September 12, 6:00 p.m.
Hi Seniors (and Parents/Guardians of Seniors) --If you plan to attend college next year, (or any time in the future), it's important you attend this year's "College Planning Night for Seniors and Parents." Join your counselor, Diane Jensen, for a virtual event to learn about applying to college, navigating the Common Application, requesting letters of recommendation and transcripts, using Naviance, writing essays, taking a gap year, and much more.

The college application process varies at all high schools, and it's very important for students to understand this process AT NEW VISTA.

This is our main way to deliver this important information, especially this year, so we really hope you can make it.
Please register HERE.

We will have colleges from all over the country here to visit with our students in person and virtually.  Students can sign up via Naviance.  More info to come.
 

5:30 - 7:30 pm at Monarch High School.  Register at StriveFair.com, then show your barcode to college reps who will scan it to send you more information about their school.

Oct. 2: Paying for College and FAFSA Night: A Special Event for Seniors and Parents, 6:00 pm.  Join New Vista counselor, Diane Jensen, to gain a greater understanding of how to pay for college.

6:00 pm. Junior year is the perfect time to begin creating a plan for after high school. If your plan may include college, this event is for you! Join our counselor, Diane Jensen, for an informative and interactive evening to help students prepare for the college search, as well as college admissions and application processes. Topics will include: ● Understanding New Vista and college ● What you should be doing to prepare for college now ● Learning the nuts and bolts of college admissions ● Using Naviance ● Lots of resources. This is our main way to deliver this important information to students and families, so we HIGHLY encourage you and your student to attend. 

• If you are interested in taking the PSAT/NMSQT, now is the time to register. This test is optional. The PSAT /NMSQT is the best practice for the SAT, which all Juniors will take in the Spring. The test is primarily given to 11th graders, though 10th graders are welcome to take it for practice.
  The main difference between the PSAT 10 (which current Juniors took last spring) and the PSAT/NMSQT, is that the PSAT/NMSQT is used to qualify 11th grade students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Go to: http://www.nationalmerit.org for more information on this program.
