Parent University Presentation

Parents,

It's time for the final Parent University presentation. This program is designed to help parents learn the in's and out's of middle school and how to prepare for high school and college. It will be this Wednesday, May 6 at 7:00 P.M. This presentation will focus on Financial Aid and Scholarships. Even though your student is still in middle school, the time is now for you to start this process and preparing for college. We have put together a power point presentation discussing what preparations should be happening now. The meeting will be held in the auditorium and last for about an hour with time for questions at the end. Please remember this is for parents only. The presentation is not intended for students. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions please contact your counselor. Thank you for your support of this program. We believe it has been a success and plan on doing it again next year.
