11th Grade Preparation
This is a big year for college and career planning! Here is why: When your student applies to college or a job prior to graduation, the last full year of academics, GPAs, extracurriculars, testing, and more will be your student's eleventh-grade year. Tracking and managing your student's progress during this year is important to their ability to stand out as job or college applicants.
Being organized is key! This is the year your student will be bombarded with college recruitment opportunities, events, ACT and SAT testing, and more.
