Replay of Webinar Series for Juniors who are college bound

Junior Night: A Two-part Webinar Series

Here are the recordings of both sessions in this series in case you missed the live sessions:

Part 1: Behind the Scenes of an Admission Office

Part 2: What Should I Be Doing Right Now to Prepare for College?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSrRxWaES9k

Here are a few things we covered during these two sessions:

Part 1: Behind the Scenes of an Admission Office w/ Tom Campbell, Assistant Dean of Admissions at Pomona College

~What happens after you hit submit through when you receive your decision?

~How did the Test Optional policy impact admission decisions this year—and how are colleges like           Pomona able to create a class without standardized tests?

~How was application reading different from past years?

~Essays: What do you look for in a great personal statement? How much do essays matter? Can they       ever hurt your chances?

Part 2: What Should I Be Doing Right Now to Prepare for College? w/ Susan Tree, Former Associate Dean of Admissions & College Counselor

~What has changed in the college admission world since the pandemic started—and what hasn’t

~Why students should stop thinking of the admissions process as a contest of grades and scores (and   what to do instead)

~Why good students sometimes aren’t accepted at their “likely” schools

~How (and where) to address pandemic experiences in the application

~How students can stand out—in a good way—despite limited extracurricular activity involvement

~What juniors can be doing right now: a list of action items

Here's a link to the College Application Hub, which I shared.

PTSA Volunteer Opportunity for Teacher Appreciation Week

Sharing a PTSA message for our IB Parents. If you are already a PTSA member we thank you :)

Please contact the PTSA if you would like to volunteer - ptsalargohigh@gmail.com

Hello PTSA members-

Staff appreciation week is almost upon us! It is held the first week of May so it’ll kick off on May 3.

We’re super lucky this year as IB Partners secured a donated breakfast for the staff on the Wednesday of the week from Benedict’s and Achieva. Then IB Partners will sponsor a lunch from Tijuana Flats on Thursday. We’re so grateful as this is so helpful for PTSA and the staff will love both of those days!

So PTSA is going to do a Giveaway Monday, Soup Luncheon on Tuesday, and Float Friday (root beer/soda floats).

HERE’S WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We need giveaways and crockpots of soup/desserts :-)

Giveaways: gift cards to places staff members would enjoy (sometimes places you frequent are happy to make a donation- hair, nails, restaurants) and new items staff would enjoy (no alcohol :-) that we could make baskets with. Those donations can be sent to the front office with “PTSA” on them and Ms. Ford will know to get them to us. Or if you prefer, we can pick it up from you, just email ptsalargohigh@gmail.com.

Soup: a crockpot of your favorite soup- homemade or store-bought or a dessert! We won’t serve until 1:30 on Tuesday, May 4, so it can come in at any time of the day before then.

Please have giveaways to the office by April 30 and just email back (ptsalargohigh@gmail.com) if you can help out with the soup lunch.

Pass this along to anyone you think might like to help out!

Thanks very much-

PTSA Board
