HEALTHY EATING IS A HEALTHY MIND

We all know that we have grown up hearing that we need to eat our fruits and veggies so we can grow big and strong. However, nobody ever talks about how those fruits and vegetables and water will help keep your brain healthy.  Check out this week's blog to learn more.

Senior parents, please remind your seniors of these necessary college application steps: 

  • Complete the application.
  • Request transcript in Naviance.
  • Request teacher recommendation letters in Naviance (after checking with the teacher first to see if they can write the letter).
  • If a counselor letter is required, both student and a parent must complete a questionnaire (found on the lower left of this page).
  • With November 1 and November 15 early deadlines, keep in mind those deadlines are for students to submit their applications and test scores (if applicable); colleges provide a grace period for teachers and counselors to submit letters and transcripts.

Social Emotional Learning
Building Self-Awareness and Self-Management Skills in 2020
