College Eve and Family Day!

3B Families,
I am excited to announce that September 13th is college eve and September 14th is family day!  We hope that you all will be able to join us on campus that weekend and get a little better idea of your student's class schedule and routine here at NCSSM.
Below are the tentative schedules for those days, and please keep an eye out for more information from me about a dessert reception for the 3B families on Saturday afternoon.

COLLEGE EVE--Friday, September 13, 2013

• 3:30pm to 4:30pm Seniors & their parents only in the gym with College Reps 
• 4:30pm to 6:30pm All are invited in the gym with College Reps (Seniors & their parents may remain in gym.) 
• Attendance at the event is required for ALL students, and parents are encouraged to attend. 
• There will be concurrent session with individual colleges who have a large draw, about helping students through the application process from afar, and about the college financial aid process.  The final schedule and location for these events will be provided to families as the event gets closer.
