College Visits Ramp Up
September 13, 2021
College visits for the 2021-2022 school year will run through the first week of November. We will have a mix of in-person and virtual visits. Most visits held during the school day will be in room 1030, across from the cafeteria. After school virtual visits will be open to all APS students and an APS staff member will not be present. These virtual college visits are for students only, if parents are present, we ask that you not engage the college representative, as the purpose of these opportunities is for students to interact with the representative. W-L Students can sign up for college visits in their Naviance accounts. They must also obtain pass from anyone in counseling, a minimum two days in advance of the visit date.
