We approach college counseling as part of a comprehensive process that begins in freshman year. The College Placement Officer participates in Moving Up night for eighth grade parents and students, giving a brief overview of where the process starts. Parents and students in grades 9 through 12 are encouraged to attend College Night in the early fall, where information is geared to their particular stage in the process. Naviance/Family Connection, a leading edge software tool for students and parents, is introduced in 9th grade and becomes a valuable resource for communication, research and recordkeeping.
