JUNIORS: LAST CALL FOR A NARROWING YOUR OPTIONS APPT
A letter was mailed home to every junior family during winter break inviting them to a NYO-- an individual thirty-minute college counseling appointment with a Stevenson college counselor. Many junior families have availed themselves of this option since they began back in February. A select number of dates & times still remain during the month of June. Appointments will be filled on a space-available basis (The final deadline for scheduling a NYO is Monday, April 22nd).

To schedule a NYO:
1)     Junior & parent need to complete a College Planning Worksheet.
2)    Return the completed form to Mrs. Hedberg in the College/Career Center. Options include:
          a. bringing it to the CCC (room 1123)
      b. faxing it to the CCC (847-634-6015)
          c. emailing it as an attachment to rhedberg@d125.org

3) Once your completed College Planning Worksheet is received, Mrs. Hedberg will call to schedule your NYO appointment, so we encourage you to have a few dates in mind.
