Peachtree College Planning is hosting a virtual workshop called, “Junior Jumpstart” on April 18th at 12PM and 7PM. This workshop is specifically targeted to junior parents to help plan for college, but all grade levels are invited to join!

Posse Scholarship
Are you a current Junior interested in being nominated to win a four-year full-tuition scholarship for college?
Be the next Posse Scholar. Posse is a four year, full-tuition, merit-based leadership scholarship and program for students who may be overlooked by the traditional college admissions process, who represent diversity of background and experience, and who are ready to truly develop their leadership skills. The Posse program sends students in teams of ten to one of our partner institutions so they can support one another. These are the partner institutions for the Atlanta Posse: Bard College, Boston University, Brandeis University, The College of Wooster, and The George Washington University.
Interested in Posse?
Posse is hosting an informational session for you to learn more about the program and find out how you could be the next Posse Scholar.
See the details below:

REQUIRED: BRIDGE BILL ACTIVITIES
Each year students are required by the state to complete grade-level Bridge Bill activities to make them aware of available college/career options and opportunities. All state-required tasks were explained to students during their 4-year planning meeting in February, however, please have your student log into Naviance to ensure they have completed all assigned tasks. A reminder email was sent to each grade level detailing the requirements and instructions on how to complete each task. Senior Bridge Bill requirements are below.
Senior Bridge Bill Activity Requirements
On Monday, April 17th we will hold a meeting with all seniors during Titan Time to go over the Senior Exit Survey and other required tasks for Bridge Bill. In addition, counselors are requiring all seniors complete forms to ensure the information being asked in Naviance is captured correctly. All graduating seniors are required to complete all assigned tasks prior to graduation. An additional email will be sent out prior to the meeting with details on how to complete the survey and other forms.
