“College Information Night for junior students and parents will be on Wednesday, March 10th at 7pm in the auditorium. Come learn everything you need to know about the college application process.”
If your child plans on attending college and is a junior in the Francis Howell School District, I would recommend you think about attending this college information night.
Planning for College
So many things have changed about the college application and admission process that many parents don’t know how to best advise their children. Visiting your local high school’s guidance office and meeting with a guidance counselor and your child is a great place to start. Also, many high schools bring in Admissions Counselors from local colleges and universities. If you still want more information, visiting local colleges and universities is another way to find out more about the admissions process as well as see what the college really has to offer for new students. You can plan trips and make some calls to meet with advisers and professors as well. Sometimes it can become a fun family weekend getaway and will show your child that you are just as serious about them getting into the right school as they are about their dream future.
For those of you who have high school students in either the Francis Howell or Fort Zumwalt school districts, here are some important upcoming events.
If your high school student plans to attend a college or university after graduating, you and your child may need some financial help. One way to pay for college is to apply for government loans. Fort Zumwalt North High School and Francis Howell High School will be hosting FAFSA Workshops in the library of each school.
Fort Zumwalt North High School – FAFSA Workshop – Tuesday, Feb. 9th – 7:00 PM – Library
Francis Howell High School – FAFSA Workshop – Wednesday, Feb. 10th – 7:00 PM – Library
Francis Howell School District Parent Book Study
The Francis Howell School District is also holding a Parent Book Study on Tuesday nights starting on Feb. 9th and ending March 2nd at 7:00 PM in the Francis Howell Middle School Library. The book being studied is called Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Dr. Leonard Sax.
