Attention parents of juniors!

Location: Palmer High School Band Room
RSVP: By Friday, June 3rd to the guidance office at 283-2625 or have your son/daughter stop by.

Please join us for a parent information session. The high school counselors will be hosting an early morning information session on the college application process. We will be focusing on the ins and outs of the college process– how to apply, when to apply, and tips and suggestions for making it run smoothly. We will go over timelines and answer questions. Our goal of getting Palmer High’s students to college requires collaboration among parents, counselors, teachers, and administrators. By working together, the Guidance staff hopes this information session will relieve some of the anxiety that comes with applying to college, and take the mystery out of the process.
