Postsecondary newsletter September 16th, 2024

Good afternoon,


If you were unable to attend the Junior & Family postsecondary night, please devote time to carefully reviewing the slides below. Elliot provided a comprehensive overview of LINK, and I discussed many things related to the college process that Juniors should be engaging with and thinking about right now.


We understand that sometimes conflicts are unavoidable, and we do appreciate it if you reached out to let us know that you couldn't attend. However, with close to 50 Juniors and just two of us, we are unable to accommodate individual meeting requests for students and families who were unable to attend.

Finally, I strongly encourage you (students and caregivers) to attend the 4-Corners college fair this Saturday. Information on the fair and how to sign up free transportation and lunch from Animas is below.
