 Financial Aid

Registrations for the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE® are accepted beginning October 1 st of a student'ssenior year. The PROFILE® is a service of the CollegeBoard. Some colleges and universities use the information collected on the PROFILE® to help them award private grant and scholarship funds. (For a complete list of colleges and universities which participate in the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE® visit www.collegeboard.com ) The PROFILE® application is personalized for you based on the information you give when registering for the service. When you complete the PROFILE®, you provide colleges with a complete picture of your family’s financial situation.

Internet

Internet sites all students should know about when it comes to college planning can be found at the click of a mouse. Below is a short list of websites all high school students should get to know.

The College Board website at www.collegeboard.com is a good starting point. Sooner or later most college bound students will find their way to this site to register for the SAT. Students should take a close look at what the site offers. Along with the "SAT question of the day", and their SAT product offerings, the site offers a lot of free college information and resources. It is a particularly good site for sophomores and juniors who are just beginning the planning process. They can search and compare colleges. They can learn about the college application process, and they can print out a "college visit checklist".

Fastweb.com is one of the largest and most complete sources of available scholarships. It provides personalized matching of scholarships to the student’s unique profile. New scholarships are added regularly.

Another helpful web site is CTMentor site @ www.ctmentor.org. This site has been developed in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Higher Education and the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges and powered by XAP. The site has a variety of functions. Students are asked to register for a personalized, "My CTMentor" page where they can input and store information regarding their college search. Students can do a self-assessment, find potential career matches, and follow links to more detailed information about these careers.

Last but not least, Connecticut Student Loan Foundation’s (CSLF) Investing in Futuressite is a great site for parents and students to learn about financial aid without becoming overwhelmed. They have worked hard to break the process down into short, succinct sections. They have also taken a similar approach to the college planning and college search section. Take a look at this site by going to www.cslf.com and clicking on "Investing in Futures".

Reminder to visit our web site for up-to-date information and helpful suggestions from Parents still make the difference! ®

Common College Application Mistakes

The best mistakes are those you learn from. Below, guidance counselors and admissions counselors from around the country reveal the most common college application errors.

Follow Directions

A lot of mistakes can be easily avoided by following directions. All college applications may look the same, but read the directions carefully — they can be quite different. Keep a sharp lookout for these stumbling blocks:

• Submit the correct number of essays. If it says "choose one," select only one of the suggested essay topics. If it says "complete all," write an essay for every topic requested.
• If an essay question has more than one section, provide an answer for every part. Make sure that your responses answer the questions and that it's clear which response goes with which answer.
• Compute the grade point average according to the instructions. Different schools use different methods for computing GPAs.
• Be careful not to confuse "country" with "county."

Sins of Omission

If you have a tendency to be forgetful, double-check and triple-check to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Create a checklist then do a final review to see that you've included all the required parts:

• If you've written your essays on separate sheets of paper, don't forget to include them in the application packet.
• Don't forget to sign your application or recommendation letter waiver.
• Be sure to list your intended major. If you're not sure, write undecided.
• When a college asks for senior year classes, be sure to submit your classes for the entire year, not just first semester.

Give Them What They're Asking For

Read all the directions carefully. It can be easy to misunderstand what you're being asked to provide. If you're not sure what they mean or you're confused by a certain question, ask. A quick call to the admissions office will save you from making an embarrassing error. And be sure to double-check these common problem spots:

• Include a permanent address. The address you use should be one that the college can contact you at during the entire admissions process.
• If you're asked what grade level you are entering, write down your year in school for the next academic year.
• When you are asked to list your activities, don't limit yourself to activities in high school (unless that's specified). Include work with community organizations, volunteer efforts or part-time/full-time work.
• For "nickname," include your preferred name, if you have one (e.g. Jim, instead of James). Don't write in the names your friends use when they joke around with you (e.g. "Squid," "Buster," etc.).
• If the application asks for "zip code + 4," enter your entire nine digit zip code. If you're not sure what your nine digit zip code is, consult the US Postal Service.

Bloopers and Blunders

It helps to have other people like your guidance counselors, teachers or family members, look over your application to see if you've missed anything. Sometimes it's the little things that can hurt your chances for admission.

• Use the spellchecker on both the applications and the essays and double-check the spelling of the name of the school to which you're applying.
• Don't count on the spellchecker alone. Just because something is spelled correctly doesn't mean it makes sense (e.g. "I no a lot about applying two college.").
• Watch how you enter dates. A frequent error: Students list the current year for their birthday (e.g. 1/1/06 instead of 1/1/86).
• If you're going to use some of your responses for more than one school, be sure to replace the name of the school with the correct one (e.g. In an application for Wesleyan, "...and this is why I want to go to Brown.").

It's a good idea to complete a draft copy of the application before you start working on the final draft to avoid some of these mistakes. Your best bet for submitting a great application is to allow a lot of time to complete it. That will keep you from making these errors on your application, as well as the worst mistake you can make: sending it after the deadline.

DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION COUNCIL

Parent Action Community Task Force (PACT)

The PACT continues its work to inform the community of the dangers of underage drinking. Thank you to all parent and student volunteers who helped with our evening with John Rosemond.

A website has been established off the Town of Ellington website specifically for parents. There are many links there containing information on underage drinking. The October newsletter for ERASE-East of the River Action for Substance Abuse Elimination, Inc. is also on the website. The topic for this newsletter is underage drinking. You can access the DAPC website off the Ellington High School website http://www.ellingtonpublicschools.org/HighSchool/home.htm under Ellington Drug Abuse Prevention Council or you may go to www.ellington-ct.gov and then go to Town Services and Youth Services/PACT.

For more information on the DAPC PACT, please contact Deborah Stauffer at Ellington Youth Services at 870-3130 or email dstauffer@ellington-ct.gov.

NOTICE TO PARENTS REGARDING PESTICIDES

Ellington Public Schools has adopted the model Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program for Commercial Services. The overall goal of the IPM is to deliver safe and effective pest control. Parents, guardians, and staff may register to receive notice of a pesticide application by contacting the school. From time to time, emergency applications may be needed. Those registering will receive notification of emergency applications (i.e. bee or wasp spraying) as soon as possible.

STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION

The following is an excerpt from the Annual Notification of Rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). It appears on page 32 of the EHS student handbook:

INDOOR AIR QUALITY INITIATIVE

This month, EHS begins a new program to monitor and improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in our school. We are proud to be taking a leadership role in providing a safe, comfortable, and productive environment for our students and staff. Our school will utilize guidance provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to prevent IAQ problems and respond to any IAQ issues that may arise. The school newsletter and web site will carry progress reports as we learn more about IAQ in our school.

GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT NEWS

PSAT/NMSQT – All juniors are encouraged to participate in the PSAT which will be given at Ellington High School on Saturday, October 20 th. Each junior has been given a PSAT bulletin, which contains answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding the PSAT as well as a practice booklet. This practice material will be most helpful for our juniors as they prepare for the PSAT. The cost of the test is $22.00 (cash or a check payable to the EHS Activity Fund). Students should arrive by 7:45 a.m. with a calculator and #2 pencils. Testing should be complete by 11:15 a.m. Please make arrangements for transportation prior to the test day.

PLAN and Discover Programs

All sophomores will be participating in the PLAN career education program. The PLAN/Discover program helps 10 th graders build a solid foundation for future academic and career successes. In late October, guidance counselors will be visiting social studies classes to introduce the PLAN program and administer the Discover career interest inventory. The Discover database will allow students to investigate career options that are a good match for them along with gaining valuable information regarding various occupations, college majors, schools and training institutions, financial aid/scholarships and military options. Sophomores will receive a username and password for the Discover program and are encouraged to make good use of the program when making career and/or college plans. Please visit www.act.org/discover for further information.

In early December sophomores will then take the PLAN test to measure their current academic development, explore career options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school. The PLAN is a powerful predictor of success on the ACT and serves as great practice for college entrance exams. PLAN results are expected in January and guidance counselors will review their results with the students.

 The Ellington High School - Job Shadowing Program

The Ellington High School Job Shadow Program was designed for high school students who are considering specific career options and would like the opportunity to spend time on the job with a professional, employed in their field of interest. Prior to a placement in a job shadowing experience, students will evaluate their academic strengths, personal values and interests through the PLAN Program.

The students spend a predetermined number of hours “shadowing” a professional in the field. The purpose of this program is to give students a more realistic view of his/her career aspirations, which will aid them as they plan for post high school education, training and employment.

The working professional is asked to provide the student with an opportunity to observe, ask questions and if possible, perform tasks related to the given career field. This experience offers the student an opportunity to evaluate the working environment, job responsibilities, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their career interest. Students may arrange to shadow in one job or several related jobs depending on their interests.

Seniors - Seniors must return a completed transcript release form to guidance before an official transcript can be sent to any college or scholarship foundation. All seniors are encouraged to visit the EHS web page and check on scholarship opportunities.

Reminder to all Juniors and Seniors - If you do not remember your token and password for the DISCOVER/PLAN program in which you participated as a sophomore, stop by guidance and we will share it with you again. By accessing the ACT web site at http://www.act.org/discover/ (from any computer which has Internet capabilities) you will have the opportunity to continue your career and college search.

 Freshmen – All freshmen are in the process of meeting with his/her guidance counselor. One goal of the guidance department is to begin to develop a rapport with each freshman. Counselors will share many important aspects of high school such as earning good grades right from the start and becoming involved in extra curricular activities.

 SAT – December 1 st - The registration deadline is October 30 th. Students can register online at www.collegeboard.com

 ACT – December 8 th – The registration deadline is November 2 nd. Students can register online at www.act.org

 For up-to-date guidance information check out our web site: www.ellingtonpublicschools.org/HighSchool/home.htm

 As our students continue to assemble their college application material, the College Advisor, Inc. has six tips for navigating the college application process. They are:1. Get Organized –Create a file folder for each college, one for testing, and one for important senior year information. Keep a calendar with key information written in red ink. 2. Cover Your Bases – Keep copies of everything. If applying online print a hard copy and file it. 3. Conserve Energy – Don’t reinvent the wheel. You may want to take the opportunity to slightly reshape a personal statement for different colleges. If essay prompts are similar, only a little tweaking may be necessary. 4. Write Great Essays – Write in your own voice, tell the story only you can tell, get feedback, proofread carefully and write from the heart. 5. Beat Deadlines – Something you can be thankful for is finishing your regular applications before Thanksgiving. 6. Cast a Wide Net – Apply broadly to a range of colleges. Have a good balance of “reach”, “possible”, and “likely” schools.
