Senior College Information Night
Thursday, October 18th, 6:00 8:00pm at Beacon The evening will start
off with a presentation from a panel of college admission experts and then
break into smaller workshops covering a variety of different topics (ex. How to distinguish yourself in a selective college admission pool, ins and Outs of SUNY/CUNY, Essay Writing, Interview Skills, Parents Dos and Donts, Opportunity Programs, Art/Theater/Dance Students, etc.). We are very excited to bring you this program and hope to see students and parents/guardians there.
NO RSVP needed.
TRANSCRIPT CHANGES - Seniors if anything on your transcript is incorrect YOU MUST HAVE IT CORRECTED by Wednesday, October 10th. After October 10th, the college office is going to be printing transcripts to send to colleges and is not responsible for mistakes that have not been corrected by that time. PLEASE NOTE do not assume the change has been made until you have requested a transcript from the programming office and seen that it is now correct. If you are making a change to your transcript notify someone on the College Office staff so that we can double check your transcript for the change before we send it out
As promised.... I will be making the College Office Bulletins available to you on this site so that you don't miss out if you missed advisory or lost your packet... I apologize for getting this updated late - so this entry will have the bulletins you are receiving today as well as last weeks bulletins.

Well, it's that time of year again. The College Office Staff hopes that everyone enjoyed their summer and had an opportunity to relax and regroup for the exciting 2007-2008 school year. Seniors should be making the college office their second home this year. Stop by and say hi.
We have some reorganization in the College Office this year. Please stop by room B-08 and say hi to our new Guidance and College Counselor - Ms. Dara Klein. (Yes, another fabulous Ms. Klein.) Sadly, Mr. Fleck will not be returning to Beacon - but Ms. Klein will quickly pick up where he left off as a wonderful part of the Beacon Counseling Team.
REGISTER NOW FOR YOUR REMAINING SAT/SAT II or ACT Exams!! The deadline to register without a LATE FEE is September 10th. That's next week. Don't miss out - GET ONLINE AND REGISTER. If you need a fee waiver - please come to the COLLEGE OFFICE ASAP.
SENIOR MEETINGS
In advisory this week, you will be receiving a Senior Questionnaire and a senior timeline and a senior meeting request form. A senior meeting schedule will be developed on a first-come, first-served basis and you will receive your date and time during your advisory class. When you come to your senior meeting, you should be further along in the process then you were last time we met. These meetings are optional - you should come with questions. The meetings will last 30 minutes.
IF YOU NEVER HAD A JUNIOR MEETING let's schedule that ASAP. You must still fill out a junior packet. If you need a copy - come to the college office and pick one up.
SENIORS, if you are an artist and have some work you would like to display in the College Office, we would be glad to shamelessly rave about it when college representatives come to visit.
Juniors and Seniors - A list of visiting representatives will be available in your advisories and online very soon. It will be revised daily so be sure to listen to announcements for the most up to date information. Remember ... YOU MUST SIGN UP IN THE COLLEGE OFFICE TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS - even if you are free or have lunch. And if you are missing class- you must get a pass signed by your teacher - 3 days in advance - NO EXCEPTIONS!
We know that everyone has different feelings about the college process from excitement to fear and everything in between. We are here to help you navigate this difficult time - we will get through it together and before you know it we will be taking pictures of you in your caps and gowns.
As you start this year, let me share with you some advice from former Beacon students. Click HERE to find out what the class of 2004 said when asked what advice they would give future seniors.
Do not forget - senior year shouldn't be all about the college process. There is lots to be learned and fun to be had as well. Here's to a fabulous year! See ya soon in B-10! Cheers to the class of 2008!!
Much more to come ... please check back regularly.
