| Lunch-and-Learn with Katie Koestner On March 23, Episcopal High School invites all parents to a Lunch-and-Learn featuring Katie Koestner, national expert on healthy relationships and campus safety. In 1990, Koestner appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine as the first person in history to speak out publicly as a survivor of date rape. She has since educated more than 5 million students and parents on the topic of respect and healthy decision-making. She has also worked with the Department of Defense, the NCAA, MIT, the State Department, the Wharton School of Business, and many other major organizations. We hope you can join us for this important talk. This Lunch-and-Learn is presented by the Office of Diversity, Community, and Inclusion, the Dads Club, and the Parents Association. You'll find more details about Ms. Koestner's visit in the Featured News section of our website. - Wednesday, March 23 at 11:00 a.m.

| College Counseling Announcements - Parents / Guardians of the Class of 2023 - Before Junior Family Conferences can be scheduled, parents/guardians must complete a Brag Sheet. You will have the option to submit upon completion or to save and return later. Please be thoughtful and thorough in your responses as this will serve as the framework for the recommendation letter we compose for your child. Brag Sheets submitted electronically are emailed directly to Ms. Tena Ward as well as appointment information.
- FOR ALL AP STUDENTS--AP Exams will resume the traditional (pre-pandemic) schedule in 2022. Exams will take place May 2-13. You can see the complete testing schedule and important notes in the AP Information section in Counseling Connections. AP exam registration has already been completed in the students' AP classes. The base fee for each AP exam costs $87. Any added exams will incur an additional $40 late order fee on top of the base fee for the exam. After March 15th, any canceled exam will incur a $40 cancellation fee. All fees for AP exams will be added to students' EHS accounts in spring.
- NACAC Virtual College Fairs: To register for a fair, select the fair in the below schedule and click the registration link in the pop-up. Students can sign up for free at www.nacacattend.org/fairs.
- Virtual Gap Year fairs are still available. Plan on attending one of these fairs if you are interested in learning the ins and outs of planning a meaningful gap year, navigating the college deferral process, and tips for choosing programs and experiences that appeal to your student.
- Juniors & Junior Parents/Guardians: When registering for the ACT and SAT, it is very important to list Episcopal High School and the EHS CEEB Code 440561. This will allow the testing agencies to send EHS a copy of the score report, which allows the college counselors to fully support and effectively advise students throughout this process. Reminder, the May 7th SAT Test has an April 8th registration deadline.
- Seniors - Are you planning to apply for financial aid in college? You can begin by creating your FSA ID here and then start completing your FAFSA. Some schools require the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE (found at http://student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile), which is available now. For detailed information, please visit our "Paying for College" tab in Counseling Connections.
More information and details can be found on our Counseling Connections page. |
